Well, do you have numb thumbs? It seems it is becoming an issue for smartphone users. Some users are losing the feeling in their thumbs and have pain shoot up their arms. And no, sucking them does not help :) Makes me wonder what other medical conditions we will have that could be traced to smartphone usage as we get older.

after speaking with her doctor, discovered she may have a condition called De Quervain's Tendinosis. This is caused when a tendon is overused due to repetitive motions/actions,

People are apparently using their phones too much and getting 'numb thumbs'

Reminds me of an article I read a while back about how our thumbs are evolving due to technology. Guess no matter how you look at it, only the strongest will survive

Try Swype... You're using different fingers, gives your thumbs a rest!
