Cell Phone Elbow is Your Smartphone Malady of the Day

Cell phones can make you weak

He doesn't have cell phone elbow, ladies and gentlemen. He IS a cell phone.

Aches and pains tend to follow you through life, like uninvited guests who fart in your rose garden. I say “you” because I plan to have my limbs replaced by cybernetic meat hooks.

Fortunately it’s never that way with a loan till payday. Such quick payday loans are a breath of fresh air when your budget has been hit by a bunker-buster.

But more than anything else, they’re time wasters, and most people are happy to oblige. I’m guilty, too, but I excuse myself from this discussion because I possess abilities and powers that far exceed those of most people writing this article.

Madison Park reports for CNN that “if your pinkie and ring fingers tingle or feel numb, you might not want to pick up that cell phone to call the doctor.” That’s because orthopedic surgeons are fighting back the tide of cell phone elbow. Smartphones apparently don’t make enough people smart enough to avoid giving themselves nerve damage via elbows bent for too long. ... click here to read the rest of the article titled "Cell Phone Elbow is Your Smartphone Malady of the Day"
