Noticed pain in wrist, advice wrist pad or mouse pls

I

I have been recently noticing some pain in my right wrist(the right side of my wrist) which is my mouse hand. Fearing that I might be developing RSI, I would like to buy a wrist pad. I'm currently using simply a notepad with a cardboard back as a mouse pad with the mouse as a Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 v1.0

Would it be better to buy a wrist pad or another mouse? And which one?

Thanks in advance

change your mouse pad with the one which have rest pad for your wrist, its easily available everywhere, offline is cheaper though

alongwith that, you could consider getting an arm rest. i have ordered one for myself.

I also have a arm rest and it is certainly worth getting.

What difference have you noticed?

I have noticed that towards the end of the day my shoulders start hurting me quite a bit.

leave using mouse with righ hand for a few weeks and use ur left hand at it instead.

u will miss games for a few days i understand, but for the sake or ur wrist, it should be done.

update us if u get to see any improvement.

I have find it exactly opposite of what you said. Earlier my shoulders and elbow usually goes sore about after 5 hours but now I can use it easily for 7 hrs+. One thing I learned is to give a 5 mins rest after every 1 hour of usage. It will work wonders.

Right! Will have a look.

What about chairs? Any reasonably priced ones? I read that stature is important too.

Try a mashed back chair. I have it and it is super comfortable along with posture maintenance.

Which one do you have? And how much does it cost?

By the way, mind posting a photo of your setup? Would be good for reference

Too many books around my setup. This won't be a good idea. But yeah I own mashed back chair.
I have this chair Ergonomic Chairs by Chromecraft by Chromecraft Online - Ergonomic Chairs - Furniture - Pepperfry Product

Whoa that's expensive! Any cheaper versions? Which important features should I be looking out for?
