I suffered from RSI in one hand for a whole year, which forced me to mostly use a single hand to type. I found out that as a developer, the time I spent typing was not that extensive, and I spent much more time navigating through code and reading stuff. Though my typing speed was more than halved, all in all I believe my productivity was not really reduced. The most annoying things were typing emails and chat, and I often called my coworkers instead of starting long chat sessions. It ended up going away by itself, and I've been pain free for almost two years now.
