I had the same problem and suffered several months of continuous pain. Although being a gamer doesn't help either, lol! Initially, I got a wrist support with a metal rod in it to wear while not working to stretch out the tendons and muscles but the real improvement came when I bought a wireless vertical ergonomic mouse (I think the brand was Anker and it was around £16). That significantly reduced the pain I was experiencing and now I rarely wear the support. I'd also agree with what Austin suggested; regular breaks and an ergonomic keyboard.
