Tai Chi, thanks for the suggestion, how do you think it would help?

1) Get two trackballs (for both hands - you'll have to learn how to use another hand with trackball).
https://www.ebuyer.com/143730-kensin...ckball-64327eu - use it for left hand
For right the best one is sadly discontinued and it fetches premium pricing now:

If trying to get used to trackballs for the first time then might as well try if you like others - best to get used to something you can buy a lot NOW and avoid having to pay premium later.
2) Get Microsoft Natural Keyboard - it will be hard to get used to it but you won't go back, ie:

I've done this around 15 years ago, mostly got RSI down from very painful to nearly 0% now, would have been 0% if I wasn't posting tulip on hereComment

I know a few people who have switched from using a mouse to a graphics tablet, it does take a week or so to get used to but they now no longer suffer from RSI.England's greatest sailor since Nelson lost the armada.Comment

As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood."Comment

I had RSI years ago, but taught myself to relax, and stop gripping the sticks so tightlyComment

I've had this problem, this is how I solved it...
1) Gel wrist pad - Durable 5749 It's high and firm so does the job.
2) Replace mouse with trackpad. I use Apple Trackpad 2, you can download windows drivers that work.
I'm fine now as a result.Comment
