HI, You were very lucky to catch the RSI tendency in time.I am a massage therapist who has worked with many RSI "victims." Just to warn others: there is another problem-thoracic outlet syndrome that programmers and others get from too many hours at the computer. If you want to avoid this negative development and RSI, get up every 30 minutes from your computer and get your arms over your head; do the back stroke; bend over and let your head and arms hang down. The nerves get trapped in the chest muscles as they travel down from your neck to your arms and hands. Make sure you stretch your pectorals often: open arms out to sides. LIsten to your pain messages and don't push through pain because you might become disabled. take care.
