I have had a similar problem with my right wrist. The only things I've 
found which allows it to heal, is using different fingers to press the 
arrows. I usually use my middle finger for the down arrow, the key I 
use the most. My using my first or third finger to press the down 
arrow, it changes hand position and gives the tendons connected to my 
middle finger a rest. The other thing I find helps is to keep your 
wrist flat which may require you to adjust the height of your chair and 
/ or the keyboard. Finally, I've found that if I keep my wrists and 
hands strong by squeezing a stress ball, or a couple of handgrips, it 
tends to lessen the strain on my wrist and tendons.
