What’s worse than texting while driving? Texting at all! Doctors (not just one) have named a new affliction caused by constant mobile messaging: it’s called text neck. According to WCBSTV, symptoms of text neck can include headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, gastrointestinal issues, loss of lung capacity, pinched nerves, and spine degeneration. "I personally feel that this is going to be the next epidemic, because mobile technology is advancing and everybody, from the youngest to the oldest, is using some sort of handheld device," said Dr. Dean Fishman. To avoid neck stain lift your phone to eye level, and only text for five-minute interval (as if!). Or try using a pay phone.
