I developed tendonitis on my right elbow because of this. I fixed it by moving the mouse to the left. It took a few months to get used to it, but now my brain doesn't recognize the difference anymore.

It feels completely natural now. As an added benefit, I can use any "normal" mouse by just moving it to the left of the keyboard.
