Had wrist trouble in past. The parent post has good advice. From personal experience: 1. Switching from laptop to desktop made a lot of difference. I now use a MS ergonomic keyboard. 2. Switched to using mouse with left hand. The problem is that the keyboard is too big on the right side due to the additional numberpad. So if you use a right handed mouse, you often end up holding it at a weird angle. 3. Started using vim. 4. Ensure that keyboard and mouse are at a proper height. If you have to bend your elbows, then something might be wrong. 5. Regularly check to see if you are gripping the mouse too tightly or if you are hitting the keys too hard. You may be unaware of the stress you are putting in the muscle.
