I've never understood why there are feet on the backs of keyboards, they should be on the front. Why would you want your wrists to have to bend backwards more? If anything your wrists should be able to drop some; or if your computer position is properly ergonomic your forearms are straight and your wrists should be straight too.

Anyways, my suggestion is to drastically change your riding position. If you currently ride a mountain bike, ride something like a beach cruiser, anything that puts your body in a completely different position so the stressed part can heal. During this time take it easy and have fun.
LOL my MTB is kind of like a beach cruiser, with the brooks saddle and Jones H Loop bars.
