The painful result for the 29-year-old from Seattle is the same as it is for the growing legions of laptop users across the USA: Her neck and wrists ache. Her doctor warned her she already has the skeletal health of a 50-year-old.No nationwide studies document the trend, but anecdotally, doctors and physical therapists say that as portable computers become cheaper, more powerful, smaller and lighter, and as wireless Internet access becomes ubiquitous, thousands are suffering persistent back, shoulder, wrist and neck aches.Few health studies have been conducted, but one study in 2002 showed that laptop users complain of pain in more and different body parts than desktop users, says researcher Carolyn Sommerich of the Institute of Ergonomics at Ohio State University.
