It seems the topic of cell phone usage still stirs up a lot of emotion and ire. I do agree with many of the comments left. Though our phones are a necessity everyday common sense when using them has gone out the window! Cil- I really like your last sentence, 'never before have people been so connected yet so far apart.' How true! Thank you all for your comments, yes I am feeling better and thank you for the good wishes. It seems the topic of cell phone usage still stirs up a lot of emotion and ire.

I thought we all had a sort of social compact with the world, that we're all in this together, with all the accompanying courtesies/sanctions. And at first, years ago, people indeed were polite about using their mobiles. Not anymore. Cell phones have turned the world into a sort of giant office cubicle. Maybe not everyone gets a physical problem from cell phone usage. I sure do think our society is ailing a bit, though. Never before have people been so connected yet so far apart. Brenda, I’m with you.

Never before have people been so connected yet so far apart.

I can see tennis elbow because of the excess activity. So cell phone elbow is the opposite - excess inactivity. Hope you're feeling a lot better! Very interesting!

Wow,what an interesting case. "Cell phone elbow" - hmmm...I use mobile phone about 10 hours a day. I am not joking, I am a businesswoman, and always in contact with people, but I have never had any pain... So, may be it await me((( Thanks for the post.

I hate going out in public and listening to everyone's business. I hate having neighbors in my yard not talking to me, but someone on their cell phone. I hate that people are texting in cars and killing innocent people. Or on trains or planes or wherever they are wreaking havoc. I hate it when repairmen come to my house on my dime and have personal phone calls that lengthen... I hate seeing young children with a cell phone in their hand, as though it's a toy. And just what is it to them anyway, but a toy? Well, I've gone on long enough. There is a place, a good place, for cell phones. For safety's sake. But I have just come up with a host of reasons why they've become too much of a good thing! Brenda I’m beginning to wish they’d never invented the damned things to begin with.

I never thought I would like it but it's so much better than holding the phone for an hour.

Being sick sucks, but at this time of the year, it's just not fair! I would have to think there's many cell phone users that suffer from this affilction. I see too many that seem to never hang up.

It's no wonder it now happens to cell phone users as well since the cell phone offers more of a chance to hold a personal phone conversation than the old land-lines ever did (okay, so that's obvious).
