I haven't been "diagnosed" but I am pretty sure I have RSI in my right (mousing) wrist to arm.  I can tell when it starts to act up and use my wrist brace when it does.  BUT it aches, it hurts (not all the time but often enough I complain), I sleep on that arm and it hurts, I carry grocery bags and feel  uncomfortable / pain.    I went to the doctors and they told me I had "tennis elbow" and now have a band to wear around the upper part of my forearm.  It doesn't look like much but it really helps.  Actually today is an achy day and think it is actually a good time to wear the elbow thingie.    I know how I got this way, not taking care of correct keyboard position.  My keyboard and mouse are to high from my chair.
