I have had it for years now. Sometimes not so bad, sometimes hurts like hell.

What kind of mouse helped?
i switch between a ball style mouse, an optical (traditional) mouse, and a track pad.

i cycle through (in terms of major usage) each in a 3 month cycle. i couldn't use a mouse at all for a couple of months when it first became painful - i switched to a trackpad (you click with your thumb instead of a finger) for about half a year, and my hand began to feel better and better with time.

that was almost 3 years ago - now i rotate between all three, and i haven't had problems since then. i assume that using your hand differently over time is what is helping.
