{{Main|BlackBerry thumb}}
The excessive use of the thumb for pressing keys on mobile devices has led to a high rate of a form of [[repetitive strain injury]] termed "BlackBerry thumb" (although this refers to strain developed on older Blackberry devices, which had a scroll wheel on the side of the phone). An inflammation of the tendons in the thumb caused by constant text-messaging is also called text-messager's thumb, or texting [[tenosynovitis]].<ref name="test">{{cite news|url=https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/world/new-zealand-woman-diagnosed-with-text-thumb-20071224-ge9h5x.html|title=New Zealand woman diagnosed with text thumb|newspaper=[[Brisbane Times]]|date=24 December 2007|access-date=3 October 2022}}</ref> Texting has also been linked as a secondary source in numerous traffic collisions, in which police investigations of mobile phone records have found that many drivers have lost control of their cars while attempting to send or retrieve a text message. Increasing cases of Internet [[Behavioral addiction|addiction]] are now also being linked to text messaging, as mobile phones are now more likely to have e-mail and Web capabilities to complement the ability to text.
