You're not alone, unfortunately. 17 years ago, I went to the office, and by 10am, my right hand wouldn't move much . This wasn't exceedingly pleasant, and was a fairly common case of cts/rsi/etc. I had had rsi issues previously which had been very painful, but never something which to me looked like some kind of partial paralysis. So I started looking into it, and realized that I could greatly improve my situation by paying attention to ergonomics, starting with my mouse. First problem : convincing tech support to replace my old ball mouse with a led one. They didn't want to give me a new one since 'it was obviously a joke'... The good news is that things are a lot better now than they used to be, from decent mice and keyboards (ergo mechanical keyboards are a godsend) to all kinds of accessibility options in OSes, and rsi issues being broadly known. Rather surprisingly I'm in less pain now than I used to be (some things will most likely remain off-limits forever, such as using a laptop ), after having adjusted mouse, keyboard, chair, screens, font sizes, and general software environment to avoid doing 'bad' movements. In any case, if you want to go down this road, please do! You'll improve everyone's life.
