Obsessed With Your Phone? Tips for Elbow, Thumb, Neck Pain

You’re constantly grabbing your smartphone to check the weather, watch videos, read the news, check in with family, text friends, play games and look things up. But you may not realize that staying connected involves repetitive motions that can take a toll on several parts of your body. In fact, repetitive strain injuries associated with talking, texting and swiping on mobile devices are on the rise. Orthopedic surgeon Peter J. Evans, MD, PhD, often sees these injuries in his practice. We asked him what you should know about the risks of cell phone overuse. Breaking injuries into three main types, he offers tips on prevention and treatment. 1. Cell phone elbow If you spend a lot of time chatting on your phone, you may develop cell phone elbow, called cubital tunnel syndrome. This repetitive strain injury stems from holding your elbow at an extreme angle for long periods of time, as you do when holding your phone to your ear. This compresses the ulnar nerve, which travels from your neck to your hand. Signs of cubital tunnel syndrome include tingling, numbness, burning or aching in the forearm, and the small and ring fingers of the hand. Dr. Evans recommends using a headset instead of holding your phone to your ear when talking on the phone, or switching hands frequently. 2.
