A woman in the Philadelphia area is recovering from “Blackberry thumb” surgery.
The mortgage banker spends 12 hours a day texting clients on her iPhone.
“I’m texted out,” she said.
The constant texting put so much pressure on her hands that the tendons in her thumb became inflamed. She had to undergo surgery to remove the tendons.
