Hopefully, his injury won't ever get to that point. his retirement would end my interest in BW. He was the only reason I ever watched korean BW. From the start of his "Flash" into stardom ive been a fan. | ||

That said, it does feel very tragic that he may have to make his exit so early in his career  | ||

But at least his string of recent losses is justified and his wrists were still good enough to tie Nada's record | ||

The risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome is not confined to people in a single industry or job, but is especially common in those performing assembly line work - manufacturing, sewing, finishing, cleaning, and meat, poultry, or fish packing. In fact, carpal tunnel syndrome is three times more common among assemblers than among data-entry personnel. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/carpal_tunnel/detail_carpal_tunnel.htm#177743049 What I said in my original post - while repetitive activities may exacerbate symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome they do actually not cause it. This is proven in many studies, for example by the Harvard Medical School ("Harvard Medical School Hands: Strategies for strong, pain-free hands" Read about it here: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/02/060206233655.htm A 2001 study by the Mayo Clinic found heavy computer use (up to 7 hours a day) did not increase a person's risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/carpal_tunnel/detail_carpal_tunnel.htm#177743049 http://www.gustrength.com/injury:does-computer-work-cause-carpal-tunnel-epedimiology (Summary of several studies). Read conclusion. http://jama.ama-assn.org/content/289/22/2963.abstract (included in the summary on gustrength.com) Another interesting study on carpal tunnel disproving the role of computer usage in casuality, proving structural, genetic, biological factors being cardinal. Repetitive hand use is shown to be a lesser and more arguable factor. http://www.jhandsurg.org/article/S0363-5023(08)00008-7/abstract Glad you brought it up, but please do your research before attempting to discredit something which you lack knowledge of unless you want an unnecessary debate. Thanks! Well there is a huge difference between typing up TPS reports from 8-5 monday through friday than there is playing Starcraft at that level from 11am to 1:30 am on a daily basis. While I'm sure the Mayo clinic is a reputable source, I can guarantee you that their study was not conducted on people who use computers to the degree that progamers do. Like any body part, if you use it too much, it will break down and cause you problems. To everyone else saying that there is no nerve damage = not carpal tunnel, there are many injuries you can from heavy use of your hands that are not carpal tunnel. it could be a sprain, a minor fracture, tendonitis, or forearm splints which extend to the wrist. I highly, highly doubt it is anything career ending, since doctors have supposedly ruled out carpal tunnel, and the only other wrist injury that could possibly end his career is a severe compound fracture, which he obviously doesn't have. | ||
