I did my undergraduation (bachelors) in computer science. The only i want to choose MBA is because i am patient of RSI (my wrists hurt when i use keyboard) and i fear that in my current field there would be excessive use of keyboard where in mba it would be comparatively less.

I'm no expert but I think it hurts more to do the things you don't love than to hurt your wrist. Of course I don't suggest you risk your health/wrist, but are there really no other options ? You be the judge.
Best wishes.

if that is the only reason then you have to consider whether you will encounter repetitive mental stress once you get a job after mba :) . Just make sure that you are ready for business school and the life after it. When my fingers started hurting after spending countless hours in front of the laptop at work i was thinking of joining the teaching profession, then the pain went away and the thoughts too :) . What i see in the software industry is that the more experience you gain the less coding work that you get. You will be spending more time in design or leading a project. Talk to your colleagues and friends to see what roles (which you are eligible with your current qualification) you have in your current firm which involves spending less time in front of a computer. Best of luck :)
