"SELFIE ELBOW - A NEW MEDICAL CONDITION

Doctors   have warned  that   capturing  that   perfect    selfie   could  put  selfie  takers  at   risk  of   developing  "selfie  elbow", which  is becoming   a  medical  condition   now a days.
Just  like  tennis  elbow   or  golfer's  elbow  ,  an  addiction  to   taking  selfies   can  cause  a  pain  in  the  primary   elbow.
According  to   Jordan  Metzl  ,  a  sport  medicine  physician  at  hospital  for  Special  Surgery  in  the  US ,  the  problem  is  overuse.Like  carpel   tunnel   and  tendinitis  ,  it  the  the repetitive nature  of  the  task   that  causes  the  aches.If  you do  something  enough  times  -typing ,  texting,  or  taking  selfies  -  it  is  going  to have  consequences .
"Basically    the  interface   between  technology   and  human  body  sometimes  causes  injuries  of 'over -exuberance ."Metzl  said .
Explaining  the  problem,   Metzl  said, "you put  too  much  stress  on  the  muscles and  it  irritates  the  area   from  where  the  muscle  come  off the bone  and  you get  this  inflammatory response"
The  condition  can  be  treated  by  taking  pain  redeliver    like   Advil  or  Motrin  for  the  inflammation   and  putting  some  ice  as  well  as  stretching  the  muscles .
The  condition is   an addiction  to  long  list of  concerns  about  the increase  in  technology,  injuries  as  teens.Gaming , using  snap chat ,selfie  -taking ,    texting  and  tweeting   teens  are  more  prone  to  over use  injuries  than  ever  before.
"In  recent  years ,  we  've  been  seeing  an increase  in  carpal  tunnel   syndrome  and  tendinitis  from  over use  in teens ,where  10  to  15  years  ago   it was  mostly  scraped  knees and  falling  off  a  bike." said  Charles  Kim , a  musculoskeletal    rehab  specialist  at  Rusk  Rehabilitation   at  New  York  University  Langone  Medical  Centre.
Kim  suggests  a  selfie  stick   for  the dedicated   documenters   ,  which  works  like  an  arm  extender  and  takes  the  pressure   off  the  elbow.
