A new mouse can do wonders, and a cheap mouse can devastate your wrist. The difference with something with quality ergonomics is night and day. You shouldn't get wrist problems, but you can strain your hand if your pen isn't very ergonomic. I know I've had my hand hurt just from straining it doing precise things in…
get a decent gel mousepad to support your wrist. I also got a wrist brace that kept my hand in a healthy position. They really helped. That and switching to a tablet for as much stuff as possible.
Whenever I feel an ache I stop doing whatever it is that's caused it for a while. I take a break(use the left hand for the mouse?). Perhaps you're using the mouse in a way that's caused the pain. See ergonomic tips for proper ways of sitting/holding the mouse etc. This might be useful too;…
i started to get the same pain in my wrist about a year or so back. i have the constant tendency now to take my hand off my mouse every so often and just rotate my wrist in a circular and then up and down motion. it helps. i saw in an earlier post someone mentioned armrests, that definitely helps. my desk is now long…

They are an exercise tool that you use by putting both in your hand (shush i know this sounds dirty) and twirling them around using the palm of your hand. they are…

Combined with other devices such as; a mouse, a wacom, a 3d device or any input device of your choice; it can become less ergonomic and hard to utilize correctly. In some cases it can even make your pain worse. Due to it´s…
Make sure you're using a decent mouse with a high sensitivity so subtle movements are only needed. Make sure chair height is adjusted correctly to your body and table surface. If I recall, someone said to do hand exercises by placing the palm on the surface flat and bending the wrist but I could be wrong. And try to take…
Stretching definitely helps. I used to get regular wrist pain after a few hours of playing wasd games like tf2 or minecraft (and rarely while working) and it got to a point where it was really bad. My whole hand went numb and painful once or twice like I hear it does with carpal tunnel and it freaked me out. I've started…
Had the EXACT same issue about a week ago. I was unemployed and playing way too much league of legends. It's most definitely the continued use of the mouse, likely carpal tunnel. You can buy wrist braces at walmart for this exact purpose for about 40 bucks, makes typing a pain in the ass. A better option might be to use a…
