Hello there,,,,well usually working for long hours on computers does give you many musculoskeletal problems,,,,be it neck,shoulder,back or wrist pain....once you correct your posture and do basic stretching exercises....the pain should decrease...however you said you are loosing grip strength...this can be bcos of other factors as well.....do you get tingling or numbness in your fingers?
Next Steps
visit any orthopadecian or a musculoskeletal Physio to rule out carpel tunnel syndrome or other factors and to assess your self.
regards & take care.
