Do You Suffer from “Texting Thumb?”

Doctors are sharing the best ways to prevent it.

Texting and scrolling too much may stress out your joints and fingers…the condition is called “texting thumb…” when your tendons and joints get stiff, achy and throbbing after typing and swiping too much.

If left untreated, repetitive typing and swiping with no relief can lead to more serious issues like carpal tunnel and arthritis.
Now, doctors are sharing the best ways to prevent that. They advise going for as light a phone and as small a phone as possible. Also, avoid heavy phone cases and try to find accessories that will make holding the phone easier. They also recommend stretching your hands, fingers and wrists often in order to prevent pain.
