The frist one and the most terrible, cause it is so common is injuries that stem from the computer mouse. I have it, yuck! I injured my right thumb in with the stroking motion of painting my very large house years ago, it has never healed. Osteoarthtritis has set in and it never healed due to use of the computer mouse.I reasearched it and it is unfathomable how many people suffer from this type of injury. The cure, dont use the mouse! Good luck with that one, everything is done via computer these days, even being a nurse my daily tasks are comsumed with charting on a computer.
The second most seen new inury is those from runners, joggers, bikers. The shin splints that are suffered from running on pavement, the accidents that can occur, recently my brother an avid biker fell off his bike, to avoid a dog of all things, ended up having surgery for many, many little fractures in his hand and fingers.
Only two to mention, but there are so many more. Healthcare is having to branch out to sports injuries and comupter injuries!
Let medicare and medicade get ahold of these and they will eventually set a limit on coverage.
