Everything finds its happy pathology, and it wasn't hard to see this one coming: repetitive strain injuries caused by the endless and improper hammering of thumbs against tiny chiclet keyboards.
Blackberries, Treos, Motorola Qs and the like all share a particular kind of tiny qwerty keyboard designed as much for aesthetics and portability as for ergonomics, and the result of excessive use is — for some — numbness, pain and joint problems.
"Listen to your body," comes the refrain from physical therapist Margot Miller. "be aware of your symptoms and take personal responsibility."
