CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

UPI reports:

A Los Angeles doctor said he’s seeing an increase in smartphone photo-snapping patients suffering from “selfie wrist.”

Dr. Levi Harrison, an orthopedic surgeon, said patients have been coming in complaining of pain in their wrists and tingling in their fingers as a result of hyper-flexing their wrists when taking selfies with their smartphones.

“It’s a form of carpal tunnel because what happens again is this hyperflexion of the wrist appears to cause median nerve neuritis, which basically, is the nerve becomes inflamed and angry,” Harrison told KABC-TV.
