Suffered horribly, now cured. I won't bother you with the steps that did not work, just the steps that did.
-main thing is to force yourself to use a posture holding your shoulders back and your head / neck back. Laptops are the worst because they force you to look down. As I understand it, the wrist pain is actually neck pain, shoulder pain, arm pain and wrist pain. Your neck, shoulder and arms unconciously make adjustments to relieve pain and the wrist bares the brunt of it because it cannot adjust and pass the pain down the line anymore.
-indoor rock climbing (bouldering) about 20 times helped a ton. I don't go anymore, but the stretching and strength building helped a ton.
-going to yoga about 10 times help also.
-I still don't mouse with my right hand, left only.
The #1 thing for me is to not look down toward the monitor and hold your shoulders and head/neck back. When I read about holding my shoulders back, I did it for 2 days straight and had extremely sore back muscles the next day. The sore muscles got better in a few days and the difference was huge.
