numbness in left hand after holding phone

I posted this info over a year ago. I had to return my ipad due to the numbness and tingling. I had to go for physical therapy and needed to wear wrist guards. It took a year to get it away. The only thing you can do Andy if you want to keep your mini is to get a q-tape to put on the device by Quantum Nutritions to prevent the bad electricity from screwing with your body. Also you need to wear something around your neck to protect your body like a q neclace. You also should turn the wifi off at night when you are sleeping. When I returned my ipad after a few months apple allowed me to return it and said they knew that this issue for many people. The numbness/tingling also happened to my husband so I know I am not crazy.

Hi,

I have also noticed tingling feeling in my fingers and hand while holding iPhone with my left hand and operating with right hand finger. I have iPhone 4s. The perimeter of the device, which is supposed to be an antenna, also gets hot while using 3G Data. I am starting to doubt my choice of hNdset and my faith in Apple products.

See your doctor. It has nothing to do with the phone except that's what you happen to be holding in your hand when you notice symptoms. It's more than likely carpel tunnel or another similar physical problem.

BUt what about the heat. It seems to be due to excessive radiation on the antenna

It's a computer. The CPU and other components generate heat when used heavily. If it's getting so hot that it's burning you, then make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at. It is not "excessive radiation".

it's well documented that use of technology in general can range anywhere from mental to physical disorders. for example; loving apple to the point of blind fandom and attacking anyone experiencing anything negative with their products would fall under the mental category.

i've never experienced any symptoms with the iphone 3g or iphone 4. however after trading those in for a minipad, shortly after a session of binge gaming i had experienced something similar to what others would describe as carpel tunnel syndrome! it scared me... im currently typing this response with the tablet flat, tapping the keys independantly like two chickens pecking for seed.

this model is wifi only confirming the general sentiment that it's not cellular radiation. i believe this simply has everything to do with the corner of the device and pressure points in the hand. naturaly you hold the device in one hand and swipe or tap with the other. all while the metal bezel is gouging the flesh in your palm massaging its way to nerves and tendons! i value the functionality of my hands, but also enjoy this great companion to the digital age (i tell everyone its a 7+). already looking into some sort of glove to combat and prevent these undesirable side effects.

the games must go on!

i got iphone 5s but when i use mobile data with 2G or 3G ...after sometimes my hand little finger become hot and is like burring ,feel uneasy... is that radiation problem or other .. and what should i do ?

For those having the symptoms just do the test of holding the phone when connected and in airplane mode, to feel if there's a difference

better : do this experiment as a blind test : having someone changing airplane mode on and off and passing you the phone.

make it several times and guess each time. If you have symptoms only when airplane is off, then this is because of radiations then please post the result here

i like to gather evidence rather than accusing people of being mental ...

There have been many studies done involving cellular, bluetooth, and WiFi "radiation" and supposed sensitivity. They have all come to the same conclusion. There is no such thing. Either the symptoms you experience are being caused by something else, or it is completely psychosomatic.

"There have been many studies" is not a proof at all

But you can still believe it for yourself and go on with smoking since many studies proved it was safe.

You can also go on with sugar since heart diseases were proven to be caused by fat, not sugar ...

Oh Yes that was decades ago...and then proved totally wrong.

Also if you google a bit you will find that not all studies have the same conclusions which btw made WHO change the status of radiations* from safe to potential carcinogenic

And if you google a bit, you will find that aliens are living among us.

Then why are you here?

I have a lot of tingling in my left hand (phone hand) and sharp pains. I wondered what it was as I have diabetic neuropathy. Your comment is validation for me so, thanks. Very interesting topic.

This makes me wonder what health problems this might lead to. 🙁

I will keep you informed.

I felt numbness on ears while using iphone on call.
