    Question speech/handwriting recognition for programming?

    Aaah, the pain! My "repetitive strain injury" (RSI) is almost killing me!
    I've been programming for 1,5 years now and during the last months the pain in my right forearm and hand increased with every keystroke and mouse click I did.
    Today, just a few clicks/keystrokes are enough to bring back the pain.
    Reducing my type speed and using a Wacom tablet with a pen helped to reduce the pain, but it still hurts.
    Has anybody had the same problems? What have you done to reduce/eliminate the pain during programming?
    I've tried speech recognition, but my microphone is too bad, and before I buy an expensive good one, I wanted to know if anybody has some experience with using speech recognition for programming?
    And what about handwriting recognition? I've tried PenReader, but that's also killing me ...

    Thank you for your help.
