You might try adjusting the way you use the mouse. I have very little wrist movement when I use my mouse. Almost none. For smaller movements I have the thick part of my palm resting on the mousepad and I move the mouse with my fingers. For larger movements I lift my hand a little and use my elbow.
I've never really realized this till I read your post and then I did a few things to see how I do them and realized I hardly move my wrist with the mouse movements.
I do have a tendency to get sore hands from certain motions but the mouse isn't one of them. For example I have to limit my time playing Minecraft on Windows 10 because the left hand movements on the 4 direction keys A,D,S and W will make the tendons in my hand swell and my hand gets very sore. I can't play more than an hour or so a week and that spread out over the week. An hour at once ruins my hand for several days.
Anyway you might try using the mouse as I described to see if that helps. If it doesn't you can have your money back.
