I would guess that wrists with repetitive stress problems need rest more than anything else, but (if you have health insurance) I would try to find a physician who specializes in treating this kind of problem. Otherwise, I would try to read reputable web sites on the topic, maybe from places like NIH, Johns Hopkins or Mayo Clinic. I have nothing against the ideas being presented here, but they aren't based on randomized clinical trials, just individual experiences, and they can mislead or not apply well to someone else's specific case.
