Yes I had an "injury" months ago and I wanted to use desiredata because of that.  What actually helped me was the writing of Dr. John Sarno ("The Mind-Body Prescription" - sounds new-agey but it's not really) - the premise is that most RSI is psychosomatic, and dwelling on it prolongs the pain.  I thought about bringing this up on the list before.  Attentiveness to this (among other mind-work) solved the problem for me - highly recommended work.  Steal the book or borrow it from a library - at least in America we are a heavily overmedicated/hyperdiagnosed society imho.

I have heard that in countries where people have not heard of RSI people don't really get it.  I can't back that up, but it would be interesting if it is in fact true.
