Do you use your mouse in the right hand? I've found switching it to the left alleviates RSI-type pain.

Although some people (ok, I) find that switching the mouse to the left hand merely results in complete loss of mouse control. Ambidextrous I definitely am not.

The hot water bottle is a good idea.

It helps if you use a symmetric mouse. I first started getting RSI back in the early 90s, so I suppose I've got used to the get-rounds by now. Since my last paralysing bout of the stuff, I've kept a mouse on the left & a touchpad on the right, and make sure that I use both roughly equally.
