Smartphone Finger Pain
Mobile habit and its side effects are always talked about. “Still use mobile” is jokingly said when someone in the house says he has a stomach ache. But in a few days this thing will not be just a joke. Because it is slowly coming to light that mobile phones have more side effects than we think.
Nowadays all work is done on mobile. Apart from talking or texting on mobile, we use mobile for many things like making payments, viewing maps, taking photos. Even when we are not doing anything, we keep our mobiles in hand to pass the time on social media. Experts have said that the pain in our hands is increasing due to holding the phone in our hands continuously.
Smartphone affects our eyes, neck, mental health. But it has also come to light that it has a serious effect on our fingers. Fingers and wrists are especially affected by the thumb and little finger. When your fingers start to hurt from holding the phone for long periods of time, the condition is called ‘smartphone finger’.
What are the reasons?
• The biggest reason for this is the weight and size of the smartphone. Earlier mobile phones were small in size. Also, multi-button phones are lighter in weight. But now larger size and heavier smartphones have come.
• Holding the mobile phone in one way puts stress on the muscles in the fingers and wrists. This causes pain here.
• Not only smartphones, but gaming consoles, tablets and repetitive typing can also trigger such pain.
What precautions should be taken?
• If you feel that your hand is hurting, put down your mobile immediately.
• Make it a habit to reduce phone usage gradually.
• If you take your phone for work, put it down immediately after work.
• If the fingers or wrist are sore, apply ice to the affected area.
• Frying the fingers can also be a good option.
• If the problem seems to worsen, contact the doctor immediately.
