I managed to give myself RSI [+], to the point that typing was seriously uncomfortable, by typing something like 20,000 words in a single day. What got me on the road to recovery was a pretty radical cure --- two weeks cold turkey on keyboards. That reduced symptoms substantially, to the point of twinges of pain on individual fingers, at which point I'd just stop using that finger. At this point, I'm largely pain-free, but when that changes, I'm pretty aggressive about treating it --- laying off the affected hand, taking anti-inflammatories, and wearing braces for a few days afterward. (It's almost always the case that I've slipped into typing with bent wrists, and braces force me back into good habits.) [+] repeated stress injury --- more likely tendonitis than carpal tunnel in my case, but diagnosis is tricky
