SAN FRANSISCO- Those who love to play Online Game Candy Crush should be alert and take lesson from what happened with one of the American who used to play it frequently.
According to the details, 26 years old American who used to be in the Army and looking for a job nowadays was addicted to Candy Crush.
He lives in California, had been playing the game all day for six to eight weeks as he had just left the military and was in between jobs.
He tore the tendon, an injury which is normally quite painful, but reported he felt nothing at all.
Doctors who treated him said his case shows video games can numb people’s pain and this might be why some people play them excessively, and why some people become addicted or become injured while playing.
Writing in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, doctors describe how man came to hospital in California complaining his left thumb hurt and he couldn’t move it properly, and said he had been playing the game for weeks.
They examined him and carried out MRI scans on his hand, and discovered he had ruptured a tendon in his thumb, and would need surgery to repair it.
Dr Andrew Doan, a co-author of the case report said typically, when people rupture this tendon, they tear it at the point where it is thinnest, or where it attaches to the bone.
