Years ago I started getting some minor wrist pain, so I switched to a 
trackball instead of a mouse (this one: 
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Trackman-Wheel-Optical-Silver/dp/B00005NIMJ 
I don't know why it's so expensive on Amazon, they're only about $35 in 
stores.) Took a couple days to get used to it, and a couple weeks for it to 
feel 100% natural and be 100% proficient, but it's been well worth it: I 
love it and haven't had any wrist pain since. (And spinning the wheel's just 
damn fun :) )

At an old job I had, I bought another of those trackballs to use at work. 
Anytime anyone tried to lean over and do anything on my computer they 
compained about "How can you use this thing?" :)  The real interesting thing 
though, is that they *always* reached straight for the trackball *despite* 
the fact that I also had a mouse plugged in, sitting right out in plain 
view.
