Hi Roopashree Ma’am,
I use my phone a lot and find my hand getting numb after some time, especially when I am lying down and using the phone.
What should I do to stop this from happening?
Please don’t tell me not to use my phone.
Thank you,
Since you want a solution that does not involve a change in your practices, your best option would be to buy a mobile stand or get your loved ones to massage your shoulder when it hurts.
The basic law of nature is that every action has a reaction -- if you don’t respect your body, the body will give up on you.
The next impact could be on your eyes, your neck or mental issues like anxiety caused by excessive exposure to digital screens.
If you want to avoid these problems, limit your screen usage, make sure your posture is correct when you sit to use any kind of digital screen and splash cold water on your eyes after constant screen exposure.
