Very similar situation. It started a few years ago and I ignored it until it got really bad last year. I couldn't work more than a few hours a day and any gaming, forget that. If I were to describe the pain it would be 100/100. Here's how I got it down to 5 and sometimes 0 on a good day. 1. I did 5 weeks of shock therapy on my wrists, I didn't notice much after the first two weeks, just some slight alleviation, maybe to about 85/100, the third week I noticed incredible differences, my hands felt like new. 2. I stopped using my wrist rest as I found it added to the pressure on my right wrist and the keyboard hand rest the same on my left and started a bit of more hover typing (no contact with my wrist or hands on the desk), takes some getting uses to but no press point really helps. 3. I invested in an ergonomic mouse, I used the logitech mx ergo [1] with the trackball, took about 2 weeks to get used to but once you do there's no going back (your hand doesn't move and sits in a comfortable spot). If i'm gaming or doing anything time critical I might switch back to a regular mouse but I make sure to move my arm and not my wrist, I also want to try a vertical mouse one day as well. 4. I got a massage gun [2] and heated glove that I use a few times a week as well as exercising my hands frequently, stretches and curls with light weights. I'd say the biggest turning point was shock therapy however, when I did the actual reading on it and what my physical therapist explained to me, there is a median nerve that gets pinched [3] and that's the cause of the majority of the pain for most cases. Sometimes it originates from the shoulder and neck area but that's where the massage gun comes in handy in not letting my upper body muscles get too tight. Shockwave therapy is expensive and I will likely do it a few times a year just because but the massage gun with the jolting is a close alternative. I really hope this post helps someone because the above did wonders for me and I preach it to everyone I can. It took only ~4 months to basically nullify years of pain and improve my QoL.
