Just ask Kim… why getting the right selfie angle can be a real PAIN
As anyone who’s done the necessary acrobatics knows, getting the perfect angle for a great selfie can be a real pain… in the elbow.
Indeed, the social media-driven activity has now officially resulted in selfie elbow, a medical condition related to the better-known tennis or golf elbow.
One leading medical expert is now advising that people warm up and stretch before taking pictures of themselves.
Recently, the host of NBC's Today Show, Hoda Kotb, went to a doctor due to a chronic pain in her elbow, and was diagnosed with the painful condition.
Dr.Jordan Metzl, a sports physician in New York gave elle.com a few tips on how to evade this achy elbow.
"Maybe people should alternate their arms — start spreading the load. Alternatively maybe people should start stretching before they take selfies, so they can warm up their muscles" he said.
The queen of selfies, Kim Kardashian, who in 2014 admitted to having taken more than 1200 pictures of herself, should really consider getting her elbow examined.
We would hate to see a day where Kim could no longer snap a pic, due to an untreated case of selfie elbow.
Kim, be safe, be healthy and get checked!
Can you imagine having to call in sick to work, because of SELFIE ELBOW?
Amazing.
