When I suffered from wrist pain I found changing from a standard mouse to a cordless trackball gave rapid and complete relief.

Your mileage may vary.

I think I've avoided tendonitis by carefully stretching the affected
area when I begin to feel discomfort and, as John suggests, "Carefully
watch posture and arm/hand actions to reduce strain".

If do a lot of keyboarding not just R type look into using a Dvoark
keyboard.

Something I have not done but which is likely to help is consult your
institutions health and safety people about solutions such as
ergonomic keyboards etc.

Hello
This request asks something beyond the technicalities of the R language,
I would like to ask you wonderful people if you have ever suffered as
programmers ( or de facto programmers like myself though I am a
'research
assistant') from tendonitis and how you coped with it, i have golfer's
elbow on both sides. Any resources?
