A member asked:
Is it normal my hand will not straighten and will only fold into a ball plus get cramping in it?

No: You might want to look at this link: http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/dupuytren's_contracture to read up on dupuytren's contracture. At any rate, you might want to get seen by a physician for proper evaluation.

Several possibilitie: It is almost certainly not normal. With numbness, this can be a problem with one of the nerves that goes into your hand. However, it is even possible that the numbness and the inability to straight your fingers could be two separate problems, such as carpal tunnel and dupuytren's. Most likely is pressure on the funny bone (ulnar) nerve. Should not ignore it. Make sure there s no neurologic problem.
