I have spend a few thousand dollars and 4 years trying to get the pain caused by using a mouse under control. Chiropractors, Hand Doctors, dozens of different mouses, wrist braces, ice, heat etc...
What has helped me the most is forcing myself to use good posture when in front of the computer and obviously...indoor rock climbing. Seriously rock climbing allows me to strengthen my hands and stretch the muscles at different angles. I am very careful not to push it. My climbing is a type of physical therapy, so I don't try to impress anyone trying to climb a 5.11c.
Also, educating myself on the topic of RSI has helped. This book is by far the best.
