Mom, I can’t take out the trash because my Carpal Thumbel is acting up again.
This is what the Wireless Blackberry users will get if they type too much on their blackberry. Disease of the thumbs and median nerve around the thumbs similar to that of Carpal Tunnel.
I have Carpal Thumbel from typing too much on my wireless blackberry.

The exact same thing as carpal tunnel, but in the thumbs from texting.
My thumbs feel as though I have carpal thumbel.

A syndrome where the thumbs can't be used to text on a smartphone due to over texting.
Unlike carpal tunnel, where the problems occur due to a median nerve in the wrist, Carpal Thumbel is due to a nerve pinching in the hand.
"Kara, why can't you type a text?"
"I can't move my thumbs! I have tingling, numbness, weakness, and pain in my thumbs! Could it be Carpal Tunnel!?"
"No. What you suffer from is Carpal Thumbel Syndrome."
