Beware of Cell Phone Elbow
(CRI)
Updated: 2006-08-01 09:23





More Chinese white collar workers are suffering from a condition
nicknamed "cell phone elbow" due to excessive use of their mobile phones.

Those afflicted by this phenomenon feel tired and numb and even pain in
the elbow joint. Sometimes they can't lift up their arms. Doctors say
such symptoms are called cubital tunnel syndrome.

Those who suffer this often use their mobile phones too much, making
phone calls more than four hours a day.

They bend their arms while talking on the telephone so the nerves on the
arm overstretch. The mobile phone users end up feeling numb and pain in
the elbow. In more serious cases, the hand loses its strength.
