McCain's wife sprains wrist

John McCain's wife is suffering with pain in her wrist following the marathon of handshakes that a presidential election campaign requires.

Cindy McCain sprained her wrist when a supporter shook her hand too vigorously. Mrs McCain has previously suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - a common Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI).

Paul Goddard, a spokesman for RSI Awareness, states that the Queen probably shakes more people's hands than anyone else - and she has developed a special technique to prevent any injuries.

He said: "You don't get a regular handshake but a handshake with lighter contact. Mrs McCain's handshake technique needs attention. She could do to get tips from the Queen!" Looking at the way that she shakes hands with people would help her avoid further symptoms of this repetitive strain injury.
