    Couple of tips i recently got:

    -you shouldn't be extending or using your forearms or elbows as props when working.

    -your forearm should be supported by an armrest which should when you're sitting sit level with the top of your desk.

    -Your keyboard should not be at a distance that causes you to have to extend or suspend your arms and cause you to put pressure on your wrists and/or elbows.

    -Your shoulders shouldn't be sagging - your arms should be support by your armrests and be resting comfortably to your sides.

    -practice good posture, your chair should support your lower lumbar and promote posture. Don't slouch.

    -You should get up and stretch every 45min to 1 hour. There are some really great basic yoga stretching for upper appendages - and wrists specifically - that can relieve a great amount of tension in your arms.
