Wrist worse due to too much admin...

So, for about two weeks now I have been slightly bothered by my left wrist. I noticed it when I was watching LOST with a friend; I was moving my hand around a lot and he asked what was wrong with my wrist. Good question I thought, I'm not really sure. Anyway, since Monday it has been acting up and since last night much worse. Could it be because of all of the extra admin work I am doing this week- using my computer more...straining my wrist? Who knows. It is true I am doing more computer work- with two doctors covering the clinical work, it gives me time to catch up on admin - statistics, proposal writing, annual staff reviews, staff charts, HR medical reviews, solving lab problems, etc. Lots to do, especially before going on holiday next week! Anyway, I decided to take up the advice of one of my colleagues and try out (her own) wrist brace. I must say, a brace is not the most comfortable either, but hopefully it will give my tendons some rest. Maybe a longish weekend (Sat-Sun-Mon) will help too :) Maybe a few beach trips will provide the rest I need. Unfortunately I do have another days worth of admin to do...
