Its true when i broke my clavicle i played nothing but final fantasy 4 and mario for the DS until it healed 8 weeks later. And it was a wrestling accident too so its kinda old news but true all the way

Well, I'm gonna go break a finger or two, video games should heal them mighty quick.

He should have played brutal legend. The healing bass notes would have healed his feet too.

I broke my left arm when I was 8, doc reckoned it was as though I'd slid a motorbike into a granite wall at 40mph. They had to cut through a shitload of nerves and stuff to get to the break, so you know what my physiotherapist told my parents to get me? A Gameboy Pocket.

I didn't game seriously up until then, my parents always thought that getting a Playstation or whatever would mean I spent all my time on it.

Now I just spend too much time on my computer >.<

At the age of 16 I suffered a injury called Kienbocks disorder in my left wrist *please no "jokes" because they are idiotic* I did not receive medical help in any capacity other than the school nurse and the Junior High athletics trainer for over 10 months, I had to have a 6 and a half hour surgery that involved getting 5mm of my radius "sawed" out and put back to together with 7 screws and a metal plate. I had over a year of Physical Therapy, and this was not even meant to "fix" the problem. My doctor said I WILL have to get a total wrist fusion by the age 30 *I am 24 now* which is like just having five fingers on your forearm with out being able to rotate my hand around at all. He also said he never ever seen a patient with this injury recover so well though with the strength and range of motion I had, he said it seems like I never even had surgery, he asked me about it and I told him "I been playing Kengo and Gran Turismo 2 ALOT" seeing as how I could not due any physical activity due to one good fall and I would probably severe a vein or nerve, and since I could not really drive my car that well seeing as my left arm was in a cast that went from around my had past my elbow and right up to my armpit, I wanted to "sword fight and race" I told him. I explained everything about the games and he was actually tasking notes, he told me that the constant gripping and finger manipulation along with the constant thumb movement and the Vibration function of the PS2 controller help facilitate the faster healing and strengthening of my injury. So I looked at my mom and said "see and you said video games were unhealthy". So this article did not surprise me, but I am glad this form of physical therapy is getting attention.

Oh and by the way there has never ever been a day my wrist has not been in mind splitting pain due to a arthritic condition "drying up" and breaking apart my wrist bones *which by the way are 100% cartilage".

How do you break a finger and two TOES in a Extreme cage fight thing ?! Aren`t they supposed to have broken ribs, walk funny and have head injuries ? Did his opponent go for the toes ? That was his weak point right ? Parry - go for the toes , dodge - go for the toes, etc ?

Ryan Bader can read well enough to play videogames ??? Who knew!
lol at the idea you need to be literate or really have any high intelligence to play MW2 considering where the COD series has now gone.

When I first saw this story I thought the Mixed-Martial-Artist took some ideas from Modern Warfare 2 i.e shoot his opponent in the face with akimbo shotguns.

A bad kick will mess your toes up if you don't hit your target. No one kicks with just their toes. Or do they?

mmmm, funny, my doctor said exactly the same thing to me when I had to recover from a series of very painful surgeries on my rigth hand. He also recommended me a guitar.

He lent his Xbox and so "unfortunately" he couldn't play it? If he is the World Extreme Cagefighting lightweight champion, surely he could just buy a new one? Or buy his friend one?
