Too Much Texting Can Give You Carpal Tunnel, Says Julianne Moore

In a first of its kind admission by a well known celebrity, we are told that Julianne Moore has carpal tunnel caused by too much texting on her blackberry.

The Jurassic Park and Nine Months star was recently on the David Letterman show when she admitted to having suffered the unfortunate fate of developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by sending too many text messages from her Blackberry.

She says she was otherwise fine, but then one day she found that she could not shake hands and that it was the constant text messaging that developing the problem.

Texting became her way to keep in touch with others and then became a habit that cost her dear when it got out of hand. She now reports to feeling lingering pain in her fingers, her hands and her wrist.

It is the repetitive motion involved and the small mechanical actions that texting requires that could be responsible for the star’s affliction.

Hitherto thought to be an addiction for teens, texting as an obsession that can spiral out of control is clearly something that is on the rise across the board.

While texting is in fact an excellent way to keep in touch, one has to be moderate about it, lest the small repetitive hand and finger actions required for it lead to health issues.
