Carpal texting

NBC news recently reported on a teen who contracted carpal tunnel from excessive texting. The teen averaged 3,146 text messages a month. Her diagnosis resulted in the need to wear un-average arm braces and other treatments for the shooting pains in her wrists. In hindsight, the girl regrets her texting habits. But who wouldn't, after the fact of being diagnosed. Texting requires balance. It needs limits. There's no need for anyone to experience physical pain, in the form of a side affect, due to texting.
