I've been battling RSI and stuff for the past two years and am starting to make progress although it's required me to get both of my wrists fixed and potentially both of my elbows in the future.
It's easy to just say "Oh, do this workout" but it can be very difficult to do that if you either lack the time or have other health issues that prevent you from doing them.
For me, I have rods in my legs and fused ankles so even though I try to hit the treadmill regularly, doing so means I wind up in a lot of pain.
None of this has got in the way of my passion for building software, although for me there is a distinction between what I do (or want to do) in my own time vs. what I have to do for work.
It's a good day when I can really apply myself to a problem at work.
It's less great when for whatever reason, I'm prevented from being able to do a good job.
And the sad thing is that often, you're not prevented from doing a good job because of any technical or time constraint, it's usually all political.

That's the thing that sucks most :)
