creeping thumb-all syndrome

Severe pain in the thumb of each hand due to texting with hand-held devices that can send and receive email. This condition will creep up on the user over time and cause reduced motion of the thumbs. In severe cases, the user may loose the ability to communicate.

Bummer, I can barely text anymore as my creeping thumb-all syndrome has damaged my thumb joints.
