I had mild pain with my index finger (too much mouse button clicking). I 
moved to a Kensington Trackball. Seems much better. Being able to click 
with the thumb helps a lot. 

It has four buttons that you can program in very great detail using 
their software drivers. Also doing a chord with the 2 bottom buttons at 
the same time is like another 5th button. BE WARNED, the Kensington 
driver is a problem in some DirectX games. It works fine in Diablo but 
Emporer of the Fading Suns would completely hang my system. An easy work 
around is to just switch to a standard mouse driver and reboot. This 
completely solved the DirectX conflict problem but switching drivers is 
a pain. 

The very best wrist rests I have found are made by Case Logic my 
CompUSA had them. They are pretty cheap and have 2 liquid gel filled 
tubes inside along their lenth. At first they didn't provide enough 
support, some rubber bands fixed that problem easy enough.

Hope this helps,
Nathan
