Thumbitis: Side-effect of frequent mobile texting


Dr. Yong pointing at the painful areas at and around the thumb resulting from thumbitis
Bad news for people who love to SMS.
Excessive thumb typing on QWERTY mobile devices can lead to such illness.
It's called as thumbitis in medical term.
It cause pain at the base of the thumb or around the wrist.

It's better to prevent thumbitis instead of curing it after stroke by it.
Heard that it will take centuries to recover tho.
Scary... >.<

But lucky enough, with the advancement of the technology nowadays, we doesn't need to type anymore.
For instance, Samsung Android Mobiles.
Samsung Android devices came with a feature called SWYPE.
I believed that most people already know about it especially android users.
It's a feature that allow users to swype on the screen to input the text they wanted instead of typing them with your thumb.
What if you didn't own a Samsung device?
Worry not as Android Market have some apps similar to it.

So, fellas.
You should know what you should do.
GET RID OF YOUR STUPID OLD PHONES AND BUY A NEW ONE!
Nah~
Just kidding. Hahaha..

Anyway, guys and girls.
Especially teenagers and young one.
Who love to SMS while walking, eating, drinking, sleeping or even shitting.
Please be caution about this.
Have a healthy lifestyle to be happy. ^^
Cheers!
Have a nice day.
