A 14-year-old girl from Qingdao, eastern China, was diagnosed to have a damaged neck and spine after spending too much time on her mobile phone. She can no longer straighten her neck because her upper spine has been deformed, doctors said.



Doctors studied her X-rays after the girl complained of dizziness, muscle pains, and the obvious symptom of not being able to move her neck upwards. According to medical experts, her condition can usually be found in old people 50 years old and above as their old age cause their joints to stiffen.

The girl's father said that his daughter used to spend nearly all her waking hours playing with her mobile phone and watching video live-streams. After initial treatments, the girl's symptoms are temporarily removed but she is still recovering at home. Doctors warned her that if she uses her mobile phone for more than two hours per day, her condition could worsen.



A 10-year-old boy has previously damaged his spine because of the same reason, and he is unable to walk properly now.
