    How to hurt yourself via SMS

    MOBILE phones have created a new illness dubbed texting tendinitis

    General practitioner Robert Menz reported the case of a 13-year-old girl who walked into his surgery earlier this year with a swollen right forearm.

    "There was no history of trauma, or recalled change of activity," Dr Menz wrote in the Medical Journal of Australia.

    "Further enquiry revealed that she had been given a mobile phone in December."

    Dr Menz said the teenager's plan allowed $100 credit that had to be used in a month, equating to nearly 300 SMS messages, or 10 a day.

    "The phone and plan allowed up to 760 characters per message, instead of the usual 160," he said.

    "The patient had been using only her right thumb to press the keypad."

    Dr Menz diagnosed texting tendinitis which settled rapidly with rest, application of naproxen gel twice daily for two days and the use of both hands to operate the keypad of her phone.

    "To my knowledge, this is the first report of this condition in Australia," he wrote.

    "Perhaps the manufacturers of mobile phones should include health warnings of the risk of overuse injury as part of product labelling."

    I'm not THAT bad with the sms, I only do a few sentences per SMS. Its also much harder to text message in another language, if you've tried it before, especially if it uses unique characters, such as chinese / japanese / korean. I hope I won't be diagnosed with texting tendinitis.

    Seriously, that name is retarded
