If computer typing is causing pain see your health care provider and get referred to an occupational therapist. They can not only help with modalities and exercises to relieve the pain but help with ergonomic ways to type differently to prevent pain from occurijg
Rest is important if you continuously type. Heat usually helps. Some pain creams/gels help. Make sure you have proper positioning when typing with ergonomic supports. You may also have accompanying carpal tunnel syndrome or developing tendonitis, arthritis, etc which need further evaluation and treatment.
