This is one of those medical stories that truly warrants a second opinion!
Chopsticks have been used for how long?

I reckon they'll just have to design ergonomic chopsticks then.

Shouldn't cost more than a few hundred million, I'm sure. Someone
will apply for a grant from the National Institute of Health and in
five or ten years they'll have them.

Which will then promptly disappear and everyone who uses chopsticks
will keep on using them like they've done for the last few thousand
years.

I guess I'll just stop using my hands. That's a sure way to prevent
stress on the joints.

Yeah...
