I’ve been battling pretty severe RSI for a couple of years now. My unscientific and anecdotal couple of cents:

- Get an arm roller and use it regularly to massage and stretch your tendons

- Keep warm. Wear a sweatshirt while typing. My RSI flares when my arms become cold. I suspect it’s because of the generic tightening of muscles with temperature

- As odd as it seems, weightlifting seems to really help

- Use a mouse, but alternate hands regularly to give your clicking muscles a break. This one may take some practice

- Wear wrist braces while sleeping. I found out pretty late that I was sleeping while putting some weird pressures on my wrists and hands. I rarely wake up with pain in the mornings now

- Spend less time messing around on your phone. It’s never as bad as using a full computer, but it’s certainly less productive

- Work less. Your health isn’t worth it
