Laptop keyboards and trackpads are not ergonomic enough for prolonged daily use. Get a full-sized keyboard and mouse pronto. Within a week of making the switch, the pain in my hands made a significant improvement. For even more ergonomics, get some cushioned wrist pads for your mouse and keyboard, (many ergonomic keyboards come with one built in). That's the second biggest culprit in RSIs.
