My choice: Yes, any chance of hurting my wrists should be avoided

don't wait til the damage is done. note that this is not a vote for the kinesis specifically so much as a vote for doing what feels more comfortable now to stave off badness later. also, also: the kinesis is spendy, but physical therapy, a multitude of braces, and having to buy a kinesis anyway later is spendier.

$300 and computer breaks are a very cheap price to pay for functioning wrists and hands -- how much is brushing your teeth pain-free worth to you?

laptop + kinesis is awkward since the laptop is pretty non-ergonomic in the first place. if you're going to get a kinesis, consider a real ergonomic workplace (proper chair, monitor at right height, &c)

I'm sure you could find one that's not too expensive on eBay or something.

and expense it?

it's not that expensive, and your wrists are totally worth it.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
