This is my new term for the carpal tunnel like symptoms as they relate to over use of the thumb with electronic gadgets.
Since I do most of my communications through electronics and mostly on my phone, my right hand digits became extremely stiff and started going numb. A trip to the Dr said it was CT and suggested a wrist brace. This helped only a little. Then I pulled out an old thumb stabilizing brace and voila. Evertything is much better.
So watch out for those gadgets people. This gives me a good excuse to talk to people in person again anyway - which I would much prefer.
Cheers.
