Please do remember that computer gaming is still very new. Although there may be people out there that have been avid typers their entire life, the day and age of MMORPG's or the type of 'twitch' or 'reflex' gaming that dominates most aspects of games has still been short.
As far as arthritis concerns, there are plenty of websites out there that you could google. Or better yet talk to your physician when you have a physical, if you're as young and spry as you seem, I'm sure you have one every year or so.
Best advice you'll probably find is 'be good to your body, take a break when you feel you need it, and don't overdue one motion too much in a limited time.'
Plus every human is built differently, including our joints. Just because our right arm and our left arm generally resemble eachother, whats inside can still be a bit screwy. My ring finger for example on my right hand has an issue with its joint, resembling arthritis, though at this point its just an aggrivating 'creak' and a slow movement of it.
It's your body, be good to it! And don't worry about the worst that could happen; deal with it as it comes, and as long as you treat your body well, you can't regret it. Whats ment to develope genetically and naturally will.
