Today, the iPhone is no longer playing with the feelings of small screens and has caught up with the trend of large screens. Whether this change is good or bad is still unknown, but what is certain is that the thumbs of many senior mobile phone players will be tested even harder.
People who play with mobile phones, how is your thumb? If you are confident, let’s do a little trick with me.
See if you have a [mobile phone hand]
1. First of all, please stretch out the hand that you play with your mobile phone most often, put your thumb in the palm, hold your thumb with the other four fingers, hold it into a fist, stand it up, keep your index finger on the top and your little thumb on the bottom.
2. Then bend your wrist vertically downward to the maximum extent and hold on for 5 seconds, as shown in the following figure:
If you feel a sharp pain, congratulations, you have successfully developed [mobile phone hand], scientific name [tenosynovitis of radial styloid process].
Why is it painful?
Generally speaking, you use your thumb on your mobile phone and send WeChat to play too many games. The tendon sheath of your thumb (the red place in the above picture) is inflamed and swollen due to too frequent activities, and the activities are limited, thus causing pain.
When the attack is serious, you don’t need to pose in this posture, you will feel pain, even numbness and loss of feeling.
To be more professional, Your thumb is moved by the muscles driven by your tendons. The slender flexor pollicis longus tendon of the thumb penetrates from the middle of two bones (the bottom of the first metacarpal bone and its ulnar seed bone) and is wrapped by a tendon sheath. However, if it is used too much, the tendon will rub against the tendon sheath for a long time, which will cause chronic inflammation, lead to swelling of the tendon sheath and compress the tendon, as shown in the following figure.
How can I play less with my mobile phone to protect my thumb?
Nonsense, don’t play with your cell phone!
Listen to me carefully to:
1. I want to send WeChat! I want to brush my circle of friends!
Solution: Use WeChat voice to speak, concise, lively, kind and sweet.
Less praise, more phone calls and feelings between friends are not friends of praise.
I want to read novels! I want to play games!
Solution: Please use Kindle to read novels and Pad to play games. The effect is better than that of mobile phones, and the volume is not much larger than that of various 5.7-inch mobile phones.
3. I want to micro-blog online! Watch the news!
Solution: Do more with less microblog, one inch of time and one inch of money, friends.
I don’t care, I don’t care, I must play with my mobile phone!
Solution: Please stop to move your wrists and palms for 10 minutes every 30 minutes, and look up at the distance to protect your eyes and cervical vertebrae.
There is also a small trick, is to give people more thumbs ~
5. Is there any help if the pain is too great?
Solution: Hot compress with towel can be used locally, and the thumb can rest for a period of time at the same time. If it still does not improve or even worsen, please seek medical treatment as soon as possible so as not to cause undesirable consequences!
In the circle of friends, local tyrants and friends are showing off with the new iPhone. After seeing it, they can only smile disdainfully like Ah Q:
Hum, although I don’t have iPhone, I have two intact thumbs and two complete kidneys.
