First Blackberry Thumb, now Cell Phone Elbow?
Sounds scary, huh? Well, as serious as cell phone elbow can be (hell, if left untreated, you could end up with a claw like this one), don’t start freaking out just yet. Most cases of cell phone elbow come and go, and cause no real pain other than a fleeting numbness in your hands. Not only that, there are as of yet no solid figures regarding how many cell phone user out there currently suffer from cell phone elbow, and the condition itself seems relatively easy to take care of. Worst-case scenario is surgery, but most of the time it can be remedied by a splint, elbow pad, or just a reduction of the repetitive movements that caused it in the first place.
Still, we here at MobileCrunch care about you, the readers, so if you experience numbness and pain in your hand (particularly in the ring and little fingers), do yourself a favor and get your self checked out.
