Exercises that can help stop pain and relax overused upper limbs and neck:

1.  Take 4 deep breaths, breathing in and out slowly through your nose.  Your body needs oxygen to heal.  When you breathe deeply, the natural buildup of lactic acid (the stuff that gives athletes the "burn") is washed out of your system instead of breaking down the soft tissues, nerves, tendons and ligaments.

2.  If using a computer, take a five to ten minute break every 30 to 45 minutes.  During this break, take a walk, swinging your arms gently and slowly.  A walker's gross movement also gets your circulation moving, relaxes muscles and helps get rid of that nasty lactic acid.

3.  Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water every day.  Research shows that smaller than average individuals (5'6" and less than 110 pounds)  may need only 4 to 6 glasses per day.  You body needs to stay hydrated to work properly -- like a car needs enough water and oil to run right.
