Q: iPhone 6 plus Hand pain after use

Has anyone else experienced hand pain after using the iPhone 6 Plus?

My husband and I both got new phones this month and I had the 4S while he had the 5 prior to now having these monster 6 Pluses.  We both have experienced hand pain recently, we both think it's from the new phones.  My wrists ache sometimes and my fingers will sometimes go numb after using the phone.  I usually hold it with both hands and use my thumbs to text, if I'm playing a game I'll hold the phone with one hand and use the other to tap the screen. If I use my phone on my desk (not holding it, just having it in front of me, taping it with my fingers) I don't experience hand pain. I'm curious to see if anyone else out there has the same issues.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.1.3

    At any point you can get trade in value for your iPhone and get credit toward a new one. They will not give you full value as no one is forced to buy the largest iPhone available when there were two smaller sizes being sold at the time. If you want a new one, go trade yours in. No need to wait for a docfor and call them up.

    I understand, no one force anyone to even buy anything from Apple. Will contact them. Thank you.

    I have iPhone six and have felt pain in my middle finger joint. It is almost like there is a radiation or energy going into my finger from the phone when I hold it for prolonged periods of time. I googled to see if this was happening to anyone else and was surprised to see many comments about the matter. I honestly do not think it has to do with the size or shape of the phone. I really think it has to do with a energy or some sort of waves coming-out or into the phone but I do not know much about this stuff. I just thought I would share my experience and warn people that it may not be good what ever it is.

    I believe I am sensitive to the signals that track motion of the phone, GPS calls, and wifi,  I went to my massage therapist with the pain complaints in the arms, hands and fingers, and he said this is not an unusual complaint from his clients.  His take is that the energies to complete those functions are absorbed into the fascia.

     

    After a deep myofascial release massage, I feel better but his advice is to avoid touching the iPhone for extended periods of time of which I've done and indeed the burning and pain subsides.  The company I work for provides free iWatches to track activity.  I passed on the freebie because the iWatch would be continuously touching my skin and it would be another conflict for me, Pain vs Desire to use to tool.

    I'm experiencing similar issues.  Aches wherever the phone (6+) is located. Left, right hand, head, ect. Even left it on my leg while on bluetooth last night and noticed my shin started to ache. Something's not right here. The aches subside when Im not near the phone.

    You are not 'sensitive to the signals' from the phone. I am sure the pain you feel is real and is not an unusual complain, but it has absolutely nothing to do with any 'signals' from the phone. Your massage therapist is passing off a load of bull on you, though they're probably not aware of it. This is what's called "woo-woo medicine".

    Please see a real doctor about your pain.

    All I can say is trust your gut feeling. For me, my gut is saying to limit the exposure of the phone from being in a close proximity to my body. No one will say the truth about it even if it was dangerous. Definitely not the cell phone sellers. These things are too new to know the long term effects of them. If your body is signaling you with pain or other feeling I would listen to it. The body is a very intelligent organism.

    Trust your body and your gut feeling. Listen to what it tells you. Even on this message board there are employees whose job it is to monitor and direct discussion to promote financial interests.

    And pain tells you to see a medical doctor, not massage therapist who has no grasp of science. That would be like me going to my hairdresser when I have a toothache.

    Thanks - I am trusting my body and so I am reading the print version of the NYTimes and using the computer to read other news sources.   Myofascial release massage provides immediate relief that I don't get from the M.D.'s anti-inflammatory and opioid prescriptions.

    You may not get the immediate release from medication that you do from massage, but that doesn't mean that your massage 'therapist' knows jack about medicine or science. Based on what they told you, your therapist is either a complete idiot or they have been so thoroughly sucked into the hocus pocus of BS that is 'alternative medicine' that there is no difference.

    You want to go to them for pain relief, fine, but don't take anything they have to say as scientifically valid in any way.

    It seems my post has gotten your kilt in a wad.  His hypothesis and the relief is more than any health professional has provided.

    But if you go to the dentist they will recommend using fluoride which will lower your IQ by 7 points.

    I have no doubt that the relief is real. The hypothesis, on the other hand, is pure, unadulterated crap.

    The damage is long since done. I grew up on fluoridated water. And I still have lots of dental problems.
