'Smartphone elbow' is real y'all, and you need to be careful!

Episode Notes

“Smartphone Elbow” — It happens to people who bend their elbow beyond 90 degrees in long durations, commonly to text.

“Tingling or numbness in your pinky could also signal” the condition known to cause nerve damage.

Additionally, be on guard for the “texting thumb” or neck.

“Your thumb joints aren’t made to text and swipe all day long,” he said.

“Overuse can aggravate underlying conditions, like arthritis, or cause new problems in the thumb tendons.”

Watch that tilt - you can injure your neck too!
