Sorry to hear that. In general, rest your wrist and take a break, if you
can. If you can't, try voice recognition software to reduce your use of
wrists. Try a digital pen, as it has very different ergonomics than a mouse
and if you're on a modern OS you can simply write, rather than type. If you
absolutely must use the mouse and the keyboard, see a specialist about
correct hand/wrist positioning and/or prosthetic help. Contoured keyboards
and padded mouse/wrist pads may help in some cases.

Well, it's about usability.
Best,
