Has anyone experienced wrist joint pain from using the Apple Watch ?
I have and it’s getting to the point where I can’t even do my daily job functions, which include typing .
I’ve contact Apple support and thought I was crazy for even suggesting it comes from the Watch.
I’m 100% sure it’s from the Watch because when I take it off and in a few days the pain disappears.
Help !!!
