Hello, I'm 23, I developed RSI in both my hands 6 months ago. What helped me was: getting wrist supports, stretching my hand and arms for 2 mins every 30, learning all of the keyboard shortcuts and avoiding the mouse as much as possible, sitting up straight, raising the monitors to head height, typing with the keyboard on my lap. It took 2 months off work, then a month of half days to be able to return to working as much as I used to. I am still avoiding using the computer out of work, which is rubbish. Initially I stopped playing guitar/bass because I thought that it would make things worse, but the physio told me that if it didn't make things worse, it probably helped, and I think it has/does. When things start getting better, don't just plough back into working full time, I did that and it got worse again and I had to have another load of half days.
