Apple Watch causing wrist pain

No. It's not.

what I don’t understand is why they don’t address the radio waves anywhere with all these complaints!

Because "science".

The pain subsides in everyone who takes their watches off! It’s an OBVIOUS sign it’s an issue.

No. It's not. Why? Again... Science.

We are allowing WiFi in our homes, schools, in our laps and even our kids laps with tablets, and now on our bodies in cell phones and iwatches yet no one has mentioned this! I’m curious as to why that is?

Because the idea that there is a problem is tin-foil hat level junk science.

WiFi doesn't cause arm pain. Microwaves don't cause fatigue or pain. Repeat scientific studies have verified this. I have no doubt that you are experiencing pain. However, until you go to a doctor ( a real one, not a homeopath or naturopath), you're not going to know what the real treatment should be. Please, go see a doctor.

I am relying on what the scientists that developed this technology have to say about its fact... and what they say is the opposite of what you’re claiming... but sure.. I will get the FACTS from you!?

One more point. You use a cell phone. It radiates in a band adjacent to Wi-Fi, but at 50 times the power of Wi-Fi. How can you possibly justify putting yourself and those around you at such a risk if you believe mere Wi-Fi is dangerous?

Get rid of your phone IMMEDIATELY and don’t get near anyone using a cell phone.

So what? I can also show you published studies on the Internet that prove aliens are real and are living among us, taking the place of friends and loved ones we've known all our lives. That doesn't make it valid.

To put it simply, the article is garbage.

Except you didn't show as any studies by scientists.

Can you just for one second be serious and entertain the idea that since the possibility that these waves cause damage exists.. much like a cell phone in a bra can cause abnormal cancerous cells to grow... (proven) what can an iWatch do on your wrist? What then? And why all the smart arse remarks? So unnecessary ... all in an effort to discredit what I believe ... or simply bc idea I entertain an idea some of you never would? It’s like a schoolyard if bullies! Geez!

No, it's not proven. Here's what the National Cancer Institute has to say:

I can entertain lots of ideas. I can also read the science that tells me whether or not they are likely to be true.

I can entertain lots of ideas. I have looked into this assertion and discarded it as pure crap. As I have the idea that vaccines cause autism, that the current warming of the Earth is "natural" as opposed to man-made, and that benevolent aliens built the pyramids.

If you truly believe these things, I'll attribute it to ignorance, which can be corrected by education. Please educate yourself. I don't have to discredit what you believe. It's already been discredited over and over again.

Look, I was pretty convinced that it was wifi, or radiation, or the heart rate monitor, or any other thing until I turned the watch off and wore it. I noticed the pain was the same. I got a different band, loosened the band, and eventually the pain went away.

Turn it off and wear it. Does the pain persist?

I saw this and want to share what happened to me - please hear me out.

was never one to wear a watch. I was gifted a regular wristwatch last year.

I have smal, wrists and did not like the way the watched looked when worn above the wrist bone , so I wore it below the wrist bone.

( I didn’t sleep with it on my wrist).

a week after I’d started wearing this regular wristwatch, I started having pain in the wrist that radiated up my arm. it felt like a low level shock.

Fast forward 3 weeks, it was still happening so I made an appointment with an ortho thinking I hurt it playing sports.

My ortho had me remove my watch and asked “ is that how you always wear it?” I said yes. He told me that I was wearing my watch improperly and it was pressing on one of many nerve pathways, and that I should entertain wearing it above the wrist bone. He also showed me how to make sure it isn’t too tight by being able to slip a finger under the watch and move it slightly.

he said no need for MRI or X-ray but I wasn’t convinced it was the watch and thought I’d hurt myself p,aging sports. ( high pain tolerance - I don’t always feel pain right away).

He humored me and ordered tests.

MRI showed nothing, nor did X Ray.

in my case, my improper use of the watch was to blame. I’d started wearing it the way the ortho suggested and no more pain. Of course I had to test the theory and go back to wearing it my way- below the wrist bone - and the pain came back.

for ME- the answer was proper placement of the watch on my wrist. ( this was a regular wrist watch- not an Apple Watch. )

thought I’d share this. Maybe it will help some people.

If you’re having g pain and believe it’s the watch, I suggest seeing a doctor and going from there- and showing him how you’re wearing your watch because you might be wearing it too low, too tight, or what have you.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you consider facts "ridicule", then that's your problem.

You don't know what you're talking about. You refuse to admit that you don't know what you're talking about. You refuse to actually educate yourself on the facts.

That's your problem.

Trying to convince people that the crap you're peddling is actually cabbage? Sorry. That can't go unchallenged. It would be a shame if someone actually read the garbage you're putting out there and believed it. Then it wouldn't just be yourself you're hurting, but innocent people who don't know any better.

A guy did a video on YouTube saying he wore his just like you.. more toward the hand.. in front of his wrist bone and his pain was pretty bad but has since worn it properly without pain. I do believe it being worn wrong can cause discomfort too but I wear mine properly and so do a lot of others who still experience the pain.. That’s why I came here and boy I’m sorry I did. If you don’t agree with ppl here .. you’re bullied right down. Thought I could find others who wondered about the radiation of cellular watches as they’ve already proven it causes damage to the body... (even the apple insert for the phone says “Do not place against your head”!!!) For a reason! But I’m a total conspiracy nut job if I believe radiation causes fatigue and pain in those who wear them properly!

https://youtu.be/z99_SzoXZdY Educate you! I am looking into it bc I am concerned. Women end up with cancer cells in the shape of their cell phones where they carry it in their bra! No BRACA 1 or 2 genes. If this doesn’t prove that the radiation and abnormal cells aren’t connected for you.. that’s your choice!!!! But just bc others may believe it ...doesn’t mean they are wrong and you are right and need to be torn down! Such a nice guy protecting all the ignorant and naive apple posters that may want to find answers for their own pain issues .... even tho they wear the watch properly! God forbid!

Seriously? A video posted by someone called "dailyalternativenews"?

And you take them seriously?

That's it. There is no point in discussing anything with you. You've stuck your head in the sand... or rather, a steaming pile of...

Good luck in life. Oh... and that computer or phone or tablet you're using to post things here... it's going to kill you. As is your TV, microwave, electric oven, gas stove, florescent light bulbs, anti-perspirant, automobile exhaust... oh, and don't forget about the sun... The radiation there is intense.
