Something else you might want to look into is a paraffin wax "hand spa." It's basically an elongated crock pot that you use to melt wax in to coat your hands.

The job where I got CTS (blue-collar, not writing) was so notorious for RSIs that they actually made all new employees soak in one of these before and after every shift. That was the only place I ever saw one for several years, but last XMas, they were selling two different home models at Wal-Mart (I believe they were $30/40 respectively).

They must have been popular because the store was sold out by the time I went back (but I got one as a Xmas present anyway).
