Darn, got some pain in the shoulder that tells me to give the arm some
thorough rest... observations:
(1) Tying a sling from a triangular bandage on yourself is rather
non-trivial. (Pro tip: There's no shame in resorting to safety pins.)
(2) Modern software development sucks when you can't use your normal
"mouse hand". Seems like I've become a genuine mouse /addict/ recently,
as I can't get around Visual Studio without. (Of course that can't
possibly be causal to the shoulder pains, right?)

Yeah, you better do that. A couple of decade ago I got that too at work
and had a hell of a job to get rid of it (physiotherapy, injections)
without any results. In the end, it went away by itself more or less. I
switched my mouse hand by the way. I am ambidextrous since then!

It is indeed :-)

As said above, try switching hands. Non-trivial either but it helps.

How do you securely tuck the loose end in without a safety pin?
Pro tip: Tie the sling on a table then put it on.
Pro tip: Don't tie the knot behind your neck.

Everything sucks when you can't use your normal "mouse hand".
I had some strained tendons in my shoulder which pained me for years.
One visit to a physiotherapist set me straight ;). It was bad posture
whot dun it.
The pain is quite exquisite, is it not?
It is not that I get commission :) But you should try a cheap graphics
tablet as a mouse.

yep switch hands ... about 10 years ago i had to for reasons of a fall.
reached out to break fall and did a number to my scaphoid. docs wanted
to do surgery and insert pin but i opted to endure 14 weeks in a cast. i
quickly got good at doing things left handed. i /still/ do lefty mouse.
the world is certainly biased to right handiness ... i /only/ found two
applications (firefox and nix:konsole) that allowed moving scroll bars
to the left side (which i find rather odd) because it /still/ feels
awkward to reach across screen to grab scroll bar

Sorry to hear that, Christoph:
I had some cramping and irritation in my mouse hand back when I was doing a LOT
of coding, etc
I found that raising the computer and mouse hand UP, so that it was in a
different position helped a lot, as did curling my fingers (as I used the mouse)
as often as possible to take the tension off.
Lots of Advil, etc. to decrease the pain and swelling, which can put pressure on
the nerves and cause a bit of a feedback loop - nerves activate mucles which
tense and swell, putting pressure on nerves....
Soak it in hot water or wrap it with a hot pad, and massage the arm every day to
keep it loose.
Best of luck, and hoping you're feeling lots better soon :)

Maybe better yet: Get used to /not/ using the mouse. Keeping the hands
on the keyboard /is/ faster anyway, once you know all the shortcuts (and
have defined additional shortcuts for stuff not accessible via s/c by
default).
Also, I guess the context menu key will become my friend now after all.
That fancy Corsair keyboard I got (remember the Coke spillage a while
ago?) may also come in handy now: The 3x6 left extra keys probably make
a fine place to put a left cursor block. Couldn't quite do that on the
old Logitech kb with its meager 2x6 extras.
(Grabbing vertical scroll bars? Is that still a thing, with mose wheels
and all?)

A few people here at work have "wrist donuts", that lift up your wrist
off the table so the angle is different when using the mouse of
keyboard. That might help.

Not in my case. My wrist is fine.

I'm surprised you can't do this in Windows settings.
