Today, professional Super Smash Bros. Melee player Aziz "Hax$" Al-Yami announced his current medical situation through his personal blog.
"I have a calcified FCU tendon. The FCU is one of 2 major flexor tendons in your wrist (the other is the FCR). These tendons allow you to flex, which means moving your wrist inwards (like with lifting). They don't have anything to do with grip strength or finger movement. Calcification is a rare condition that causes a tendon to thicken." Hax states in the announcement. "My case of calcification is so severe that it calls for removal of my tendon. This is rare to the point that there are hardly any documented cases in history of it happening."
Hax unfortunately is not currently finding any doctors that are able to perform the surgery needed to treat this condition.
