A serious one here dear readers, any PH wizards help will be muchly appreciated.

I've been clicking on the mouse, well perhaps a little more than norm'. (Blooming game I've found is addictive and requires lots of clicking...)

Anyway and to the point, my index finger is now clicking when I move it. What have I done? Is it broken?

No jibes or I'll set Rod on you.

It is broken.

It does happen, just click it back into place and all will be fine.

Apart from, it may fall off.

But you'll still have three fingers left, yea?

It's a tendon problem:

I have it in my left thumb. It's not painful (most of the time) but makes simple tasks like turning pages of a book difficult.

Google 'trigger thumb' for more info.

More importantly what's the game.

I really hope it is a game and not the other thing.

Well, you can get 'Blackberry Thumb' it appears, so perhaps there is an equivalent for the finger?

Cheers! It just keeps clicking away, none of my other fingers are doing it - just this one.

The game, well embarrassingly its on a social networking site and pits your wits against others (testing intelligence, linguistic skills etc.) I'm addicted and thats quite dangerous when all my finger wants to do is click.
