Reading one of Dr Sarnos books sorted mine after over ten years.
I don't think agree entirely with the model he puts forward in his book for why RSI happened, I'm naturally sceptical so it took a lot of effort to read with an open mind; perhaps it works a little like hypnotism.
I'd read that some people can get an improvement just reading reviews of his book, so I read a load of them.
Then something strange happened - the RSI started flipping from one wrist to another.
I already knew some slightly odd things could happen: at some point my girlfriend had massaged my arm from the hand to the shoulder and the pain had moved up right with it - then gone back to the end.
So I knew the mind was part of the issue.
After the pain could flip from one wrist to another I bought the book.
After that I could sort of talk to myself internally giving reassurance when the wrist pain happened and it would go away.
This evolved into just thinking about the area in pain.
Sometimes the pain would turn into a anxiety, but I can pretty much make that go away.
Part of his ideas are about the body and mind being linked (which makes sense), so the RSI is a manifestation of stress.
The book I read was The Mindbody Connection.
I find it weird to recommend as the cover makes it look dodgy, and the thesis is a bit new age seeming for me, but it did work for me.
I recommend reading a load of reviews of his stuff and seeing if anything changes.
