This is my third time in last 15 years I face issues with RSI. Do you have any tips on how to make the situation better and have less pain?
For the context: I'm on dvorak layout and have jis keyboard with heavy use of thumbs. 8 years ago I switched from evil to vanilla Emacs keybindings.
I also have a wanderer constraint at the moment: I have only one backpack for all my belongings.

1. Start using talon.

Talon also supports the Tobii eye tracker. So you could use your computer without using your hands at all. A good mic is needed. Join the Slack.
2. Read "It's not carpal tunnel syndrome", to learn what RSI is and how it can be treated.
3. Learn how to do trigger point massage. There are several ways to do it. For me ischemic compression was the most valuable.
Could be that this may not help you, but it doesn't do any harm unless you violently squeeze your muscles.
And it's great to have this knowledge because you can treat any aching muscle with it. Got back pain? Quickly treat the cramped muscle and the back pain is gone in no time.
My RSI was so severe that I couldn't hold a cup.
