Are you sure you have RSI and not TMS (tension myositis syndrome)? It's a condition that causes real physical symptoms (of which wrist pain is a common one) that are not due to pathological or structural abnormalities. Rather, the symptoms are caused by stress and repressed emotions.

I have definitely found my RSI like symptoms are dependant on my mindset/stress levels.

Rarely does the RSI flare up when I'm doing something I enjoy. Stress is definitely a component.
