As a programmer I used to suffer from wrist and thumb pain long ago, tried many different keyboards as well.
Eventually, for this and other reasons, I decided I should type _less_, and started to look for a less verbose programming language than C which was my goto language at the time. I settled on a ML-like language for its terseness and performance. The pain went away (alongside my collection of fancy keyboard) and I had even forgotten that I experienced such a pain.
Other factors might have helped of course (maybe I started to exercise more? I also tried to learn the guitar at the time, also in an attempt to fight the pain).
So, YMMV, but in any case I wanted to let you know that there is no fatality in this.
