I used to get RSI problems when I was younger. You have to understand that it is directly related to the amount of time you spend doing the repetitive task. In this case I'll assume its typing. (This affects a lot of people such as pianists and guitar players too) When the pain was worse, I had a velcro wrist brace with a metal support, this helped as it limited movement. Ultimately, the solution to your problem is to simply reduce the amount of repetition if at all possible. Back in my most problematic years, I was a web developer who spent 9-5 coding and would return home every night to clock up 4-5 hours gaming. Stretching movements do not help either, ie a lot of use from Shift + Control keys is bad - learn how to touch type properly using the action key on the opposite side of the keyboard to perform these operations. Gaming is very bad. I would love playing FPS games and MMORPG's. FPS games force your finger movements to be very precise which is very straining. MMORPG's are notoriously bad for repetition. Give these up if you are suffering that badly, trust me, its not worth it. Other things that might help? Well I personally have spent a lot of money finding the most comfortable keyboard + mouse setup. Don't buy based on what looks cool or gets the best reviews, get what is comfortable for you. For me, it is a small bluetooth apple keyboard (low travel laptop keys that have a light touch are MUCH less straining) and a Logitech MX anywhere mouse. Yes its a mobile mouse with no tail, this fits me much better and allows me to use a single battery which also makes it lighter to move about. Good luck, and take a break!
