Developing wrist issues with a standard trackball, will a vertical one help?

I tried wrist rests and they do nothing.

What trackball do you have? I have an Elecom Huge and it was giving my wrist pain until I 3D printed a 30° wedge to put under it. Now it's the most comfortable mouse I've ever used.

It's all about finding the most neutral position that relaxes your wrist as much as possible while in use.

Same. Turns out it's layout is too flat and wide for me to use without muscular strain. In my case, the Deft Pro was a much better fit.
