RSI of hands and upper arms can also be a pinched nerve in the back nerve the scapula. Try forcefully lowering your shoulders and also stretching your elbows back behind as when waking up. This may clear the RSI of hands instantly, with the nerve signal unblocked in this way. I had massage for months which reduced it very temporarily but the RSI comes back in half a day. To solve permanently I do the above two stretches a few times each day and never had hand RSI since. During the stretch you almost feel like a river being released through the harms - amazing feeling.
