Man ruptures tendon in his thumb by playing Candy Crush Saga, but addiction to game enabled him to ignore the intense pain and keep on tapping

 

A man has ruptured a tendon in his thumb by playing Candy Crush Saga, making it one of the first touchscreen-gaming related injuries and putting BlackBerry thumb back on the map.
