I used to have wrist pain and elbow pain. Here's some of the things I did that worked for me: 1. I stopped using a laptop keyboard and switched to a regular one. I just put my Apple keyboard on top of the laptop keyboard. Worked fine. Although I might give the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard a try in the future. 2. I also noticed that I pressed the keys too hard(sometimes the tips of my fingers would hurt), so I try to type more gently. 3. I switched from my Magic Mouse to a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse. For me taller/vertical mice are more comfortable to use. 4. I added a foam wrist rest pad in front of my keyboard. One of these http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51wmYdfwdpL.jpg http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51wmYdfwdpL.jpg. Have a look at what your wrist are leaning against when you type and you can decide if you might need this or not. 5. More breaks. There are Pomodoro apps and extensions that can take care of automating this. For example, 25 minutes work, 5 minutes break. 6. Type less. I've seen a large number of people on YouTube type every letter when they code. Snippets, auto-complete can save you a lot of typing. You should only type a variable name entirely only once. After that, auto-complete. 7. I left the most important part for the end. Start working out. I don't go to the gym, but I have a modular dumbbell at home which I use. Start small, with the basics. You really don't want to injure yourself.
