1- Get good (for you) wrist rest/s.
2- Take regular breaks, such a pair of minutes every hour at least.
3- Use low profile ergonomic keyboard to reduce the unnecessary movement.
4- Get an ergonomic mouse if you're a heavy user of it.
5- Sit on a correct manner (distance to the table, height and so).
6- Do exercise once a day at least 15 minutes on which you involve your wrists.
7- Go to the physiotherapist once a month to help recover and receive advice to do some exercises better than others.
8- stress balls are good for that too but don't use it all the time or it can be counterproductive.

I started researching how to make my workspace more ergonomic, and #1, #2, and #5 were key for me to stop my wrist pain.
The primary office space I work in has older desks that are taller and kind of a pain to use properly. If I raise myself up to the proper height where my forearms are parallel to the desk, my legs are too short to allow my feet to rest flat on the ground.
To adjust my workspace to make it more comfortable, I purchased foot rests for the floor so that I can sit taller with my feet now flat on the foot rest, and my arms are parallel to the desk.
I purchased monitor stands to elevate my monitors, so I am looking straight ahead, not bending my neck down. I bought a 36" wide mouse/keyboard mat to keep my wrist off the hard desk when using the mouse. Since I used a taller mechanical keyboard, I bought a foam keyboard wrist pad that keeps my wrists from bending up as much in order to reach the keys.
Everything I purchased was Amazon basics or generic products. I think I was able to make my workspace more comfortable and stop my wrist pain for less than $100.
I tried ergonomic keyboards and mice, but they weren't for me.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. I've started working on 3, although my typing skills still need some improvement
Which model you picked?
I'm actually in love with the Logitech G915 TKL
I got mine yesterday and iām loving it! But still need to find a good rest... do you have any sugestion?
i really don't need a wristrest with the G915 tbh, but if you need one pick whichever you find through amazon, check those made with adaptive foam
