The best-selling books on Amazon on RSI both recommend getting deep tissue massages. I've gotten a bunch, and they seem to help more than anything else I've tried, but I've still been unable to type for more than an hour without getting symptoms for the past eight months.

This has completely ruined my life, so I recommend taking wrist pain seriously. Preventative measures are probably best. Here is a nifty sit/stand keyboard tray that will significantly improve the ergonomics of your desk and also allow you to stand to work whenever you want to:

Go to the doctor, tell them you have cubital tunnel syndrome, go to PT, and it improves rapidly.

That's my story, and it sucked, but it worked. Once you're at PT, if you're lucky they'll use ASTYM on you, which works wonders. Leaves you bruised as hell, but absolutely the only thing that worked for me.
