Doc warns teen phone addicts
A growing number of youngsters, especially university students, are suffering “trigger finger” and other muscle-related problems as the time they spend on smartphones increases.
At risk are those who use phones for prolonged periods, bending their necks and elbows and tapping fingers on screens to text long messages. This can result in fingers, wrists, shoulders and even necks becoming “locked” in one position, with associated pain.
