Texting is a Pain in the Neck, Studies show

Kids usually text all the time when they're at home, school, and even at bed! However, texting can cause tons of injures like chronic pain problems if you text for a lifetime. It has been shown that people who text a lot, has elbow injuries do to too much thumb texting. The way you type on the computer and text on the phone has similar positions who text. Office workers who uuse the computer often usually come home with back pain or shoulder pain. This could happen if you text for a whole day. To see more about the texting problem, Gold, a professor in the Philadelphia, sent a questionnaire to 138 college students who text. The survey was about how many text messages were sent everyday and if they felt any back pain. After the results came, males seemed to text the most surprisingly. However a variable that could have happened with the survey could have been that Gold didn't ask the time of how long they take on the computer. Gold's research will be shown to the American Public Health Association.
