A UK doctor has warned of the rise of the ‘selfie wrist’, the latest hazard to be reported from people taking pictures with their phones.

London plastic surgeon Dr Raj Ragoowansi has described an upswing in the numbers of young men and women presenting with carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition he rarely used to see in the under-35s.
