Mobile Phone Radiation Danger

[Scarlett]

I have pain in my right hip where my shoulder bag sits. I wonder whether it is linked with my iPhone being in the bag. I'm trying to work out - if there is radiation danger from mobile phone masts/aerials, how can
I minimise the risk? Is the radiation from the phone part or the internet part? And if I switch it off will it cease to be dangerous?

Not a chance in a trillion that it has anything to do with radio waves received by your mobile phone.

I don't think that a mobile in your handbag is going to radiate to a point of causing damage to your hip. Perhaps your handbag knocks against your hip whilst you are walking.

Neverless, there are some scientists who argue that mobile phones cause all sorts of ill health and others who say that the risk is virtually nil. Incidentally, it can't radiate if switched off.

Following article is interesting from an NHS point of view. :-

The old cathode-tube TVs gave off more radiation than mobile phones. And they depended on signals received through the aerial from transmitters. So if you watched TV before about 1995 you experienced this, and I'm guessing no ill effects. Other than possible over-exposure to Roland Rat.
You don't say where in your hip you feel pain, so it's difficult to offer alternative explanations, but it could be a pulled muscle, an inflamed nerve, a joint-related problem etc.
