Beware Of Developing ‘Smartphone Pinky’ Syndrome
Spending extended time on your smartphone during this coronavirus pandemic? You might want to put it down once in a while.
According to health experts, you are at risk of developing a deformity known as “smartphone pinky” syndrome. “The pinky finger bears the weight of the smartphone for prolonged hours leading to a condition that occurs when the little finger bends on the dominant hand,” reveals Dr Sachin Bhonsle, an orthopedic surgeon at Fortis Hospital Mulund in India. To keep from this happening, Dr Bhonsle suggests shorter sessions on the phone, switching hands at periodic intervals, and taking breaks if your hand starts hurting.
Jade was born and raised in Detroit Rock City and grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, The Who, Tom Petty, etc. In high school she tried multiple different styles from cheerleader to goth but couldn’t do gymnastics and couldn’t get her eyeliner dark enough. She settled on jeans and a t-shirt, playing sports and making normal situations overly awkward. When she’s not making bad jokes on the radio you can find her shanking golf balls into the woods on the golf course and drinking beers at the bar. She has a strict two shot limit when it comes to tequila. Jade enjoys writing and talking about everything happening in Detroit Rock City, our Detroit sports teams, golf, and her fear of robots.
