A doctor in Granada is advising fellow physicians to be “mindful” of the injuries that can result from using instant messaging services, after she diagnosed a 34-year-old pregnant woman with “WhatsAppitis”.The case, described by the doctor in the Lancet, said the patient was suffering sudden pain in both wrists after waking up in the morning. Inés Fernandez-Guerrero, of Granada’s General University hospital, wrote that the patient “had no history of trauma and had not engaged in any excessive physical activity in previous days”. She ruled out carpal tunnel syndrome and nerve damage.
