I'll have to try the brace. I have tried vertical mice in the past, but I felt that it made things worse rather than better. I know others with the opposite experience.

There are lots of stretches that can help. A quick YouTube search will bring up tons of them.

Also, getting the level of your desk right is important. I tried early in my career to have a standing desk, but I half-assed it. The result was that my mouse was too low and I was bending my wrist back to use it. That's what triggered my pain, which, though diminished, remains long after I stopped doing that.
