Michelle Waldron (34) developed chronic shoulder pain due to excessive use, including using her cell phone for four hours a day.

According to the New York Post, an American media outlet, Michelle Waldron (34), who lives in Ireland, suffered from chronic shoulder pain due to excessive cell phone use. He explained that since the pain began in December 2022, she has had difficulty going about her daily life and her symptoms have not been getting better.
Michelle claims her pain has worsened over the past year. “I sleep in a chair because I can’t sleep in bed because it hurts too much. I have trouble cooking, cleaning or doing household chores and I easily let go of things I hold.” “Painkillers aren’t helping at all and I feel reluctant to even socialize with people,” she continued.
To treat her shoulder pain, Michelle made many efforts, including seeing a pain specialist and chiropractor and receiving steroid injections. She spent more than $1,000 (approximately 1.34 million won) on treatment, but to no avail. He is currently hoping to relieve the pain with Botox injections.
“Rather than using your cell phone, I recommend taking a break and going outside and exercising,” Michelle said. “I hope you do something more satisfying than using your cell phone.”
Shoulder pain occurs when using a cell phone for a long time with a hunched posture or shoulders curled.
Using your phone in the wrong posture can lead to chronic shoulder pain like Michelle did. It is not clear what posture Michelle used when using her cell phone, but if she looked at the screen every day with her head down or lying on her side with her shoulders rolled, it is likely that she would experience shoulder pain.
Shoulder pain occurs not only due to inflammation in the shoulder joint or rupture of the rotator cuff used to move the shoulder, but also due to physical imbalance. Living in a posture that harms the spine and shoulders for a long period of time puts strain on certain areas and causes the cervical, back, and pelvic bones that support the body to become bent. When the bone bends, problems occur in the surrounding muscles and irritate the blood vessels and nerves that pass through the vertebrae, causing shoulder pain.
Korea is also highly dependent on mobile phones… Avoid continuous use for more than an hour and walking for 20 to 30 minutes is beneficial.
Using a cell phone for a long time in an incorrect posture is not limited to Michelle. In Korea, younger people also spend more time using cell phones. According to the National Statistical Office, people aged 15 to 19 used smartphones for 3.6 hours on holidays, which is twice as much as people in their 60s. People in their 20s were found to use it for 2.5 hours. 15 out of 100 people in their 60s are concerned about overdependence on smartphones, so special caution is needed.
Shoulder pain is relatively easy to recover from when it appears mildly in the beginning, but chronic pain that persists for more than 3 months is difficult to treat. Before pain occurs, it is best to set a usage time and avoid using it for more than an hour continuously, avoid bending your neck or crouching, lift your cell phone up to eye level, and stretch your neck and shoulders. It is also wise to strengthen your back and spine by walking for 20 to 30 minutes instead of using your cell phone.
