>> that is amazing.
dr. ashton, i have another
facebook question for you.
debbie wrote to ask, do you
think texting could cause carpal
tunnel syndrome?
>> well, the answer to that one,
harry, is it possibly could.
this falls under the category of
an overuse injury.
we've heard of blackberry thumb
or cell phone elbow.
any repetitive action, anything
you do over and over again for
hours and hours a day can affect
your body.
so, when you're talking about
texting or on the computer,
thumbs, wrists, elbow, neck, can
all become effected.
>> is treatment approved for
that?
>> have you heard the saying
from your doctor, doctor, it
hurts when i do this, and the
doctor says, stop doing that.
so the answer is rest and
intervene on that repetitive
action.
stop doing it.
>> jack, we've got a tweet
asking, if someone creates a
twitter account or a facebook
page claiming to be me, not me
in particular but the viewer,
can i sue them?
