i dunno man you work less, eat healthier and exercise

you really got to do those things. you need to take breaks. you need yourself in a good state of mind and physical conditions to continue working without suffering. zen in ur pen0r too

you need to go up and up and up and fight to be the leader. then you will have even less work. you will be the dreamer and control other people. they will be an extension of you

Have you tried using forearm supports, OP? I've heard they can alleviate the sort of pain you seem to be getting while typing, almost immediately after installation/proper usage.



Doesn't seem to hard to install. Hope this helps, and hope your situation improves either way.
