Pump Handling with Dupuytren's

[PleaseFindACure]

Hi all,

as I am facing this genetic tendency for Dupuytren's, Peyronie's and Ledderhose and Peyronie's is quite active again after years of stability I am getting closer to needing an implant or correction.

I wonder if there are implant users with Dupuytren's Contracture that could tell me if it is still feasible to handle the pump or if it is difficult. One needs to be able to grip with the thumb and one finger, right? E.g in case I can still reach around the testicles with the thumb and index finger on one hand I should be able to use it, right?

Thanks

I don't have Dupuytren's, but I have carpal tunnel, which is worse in my dominant left hand. I am able to pump my device using my right hand. My technique is to use my thumb pressed against the side of my curled forefinger. Not sure if that helps. Urologist should be helpful as well.

I use a thumb over my next two fingers to wedge the pump so it don’t pop out. When pressure gets up I use my other hand over my dominant one. It does take a good deal of pressure to cycle especially at first until it gets broke in. Some brands are easier on the hands than others. I know the titan classic is likely one of the harder pumps especially initially. Discus with dr. Could be likely you would be a good candidate for a malleable as much as I’m not a proponent of them. In some cases, they are the best choice.

Good day OP. I have Dupuytren's (bad), but it mostly affects my left hand, and I am a righty. Like Cowtown and Rider, I use my thumb against the side of my right pointer finger to smash the pump, and I have no issues. I suspect that even with severe dupe's, I could still easily inflate if I were left-handed. So I wouldn't think you would have an issue pumping even if your right hand/pointer was affected, as long as you have a thumb you can mash it against the side of your pointer of your dominant hand, even it your pointer is compromised.

If you truly need an implant one day, don't let a "what if" stop you if the alternative is no fucking. I love this thing and can't imagine life without it. Good luck mate!
