About 15 years ago I made the decision to halve my mousing strain by becoming equally adept at mousing with either hand and either with a mouse or a trackball. I have both plugged into my computer all the time, and I swap hands and devices a couple times a month.

A great keyboard is important too. I only use IBM model M's made around 1984.

And as is discussed at length in this thread - exercise! I hit the gym for 2 hours between 5 and 7pm and let almost nothing interfere with that.

I have RSI pain yes - it comes with the job - but it's reached a steady-state that I can deal with.
