The only thing that worked for me was switching to dvorak. Too many clicking only video games (diablo), and too much typing for my day job really did a number on me. None of the stretches or exercises did much for me. It was very hard, but ultimately worth it. I have been typing with no issues for 20 years now. I do the stretches and some exercises, but it was the reduced finger movement of dvorak that made it so I could continue as a systems engineer and programmer. I still type most of the day, and really feel it again when I am forced to use qwerty. I think dvorak saved my wrists, and my career.
