IPad injuries

Hi guys,

I'm popping into say hello and update you about my current injury created from holding an iPad without a proper stand.

Ever since last year of 2016 I've developed a Frozen Shoulder. I've had my iPad for three years and I use it every day. In fact we had to increase our usage to unlimited, I know, lol, yes, I love my iPad.

Anyhow, I went for acupuncture and the acupuncturist told me I had a Frozen Shoulder. I than decided to see a doctor about it, we did an ultra sound, and it was confirmed that it was a Frozen Shoulder.

A Frozen Shoulder is when the body decides to encapsulate a problem area with collagen, trying to protect the weak area from further trauma. (The body is an animal of its own.) Who ever named it as a, "Frozen Shoulder," knew what they were talking about cause it will not move past a certain point. And now my other shoulder is giving me trouble.

I did a bit of research about iPads and Frozen Shoulders and discovered that a lot of people are suffering from the injury due to the iPad. Not only iPads, but iPhones as well. It's much like having carpal tunnel in the wrist, but it's in the shoulder area instead. Not fun and it's extremely painful. (iPads and iPhones require you to hold the device resulting in placing strain on certain muscles, such as the shoulder area.)

So, if anyone else is experiencing this type of condition get a stand specifically for iPads. They do not cost very much and who knows could very well be a great niche idea.

My spouse noticed one yesterday while out shopping and that is what I'm using as of now, and thank God, it's working.

Happy iPad typing guys!
