Well, it had to happen sooner or later.

The first recorded case of “Text Messagers Thumb”. In New Zealand.

 

The 20-year old student is thought to have sent up to 100-text messages/day, which resulted in inflammation of the tendons in her thumb, causing grave discomfort. The condition, is officially known as tenosynovitis.

 

100 per day?

Dang, I feel old.
