I did the same thing, about eight hers ago. I was going home at the end of the day looking like Quasimodo, leaning to my right side after mousing all day. I decided to switch to left-handed mousing when I'm in my office and right handed when I'm in the edit suite or doing AE work. The first couple of weeks were frustrating, but now I sit down at either orientation and don't even think about it. And the RSI pain has gone away. Totally worth it.

I am a left-handed mouser at work and a right-handed mouser at home. This took only a few weeks to transition into doing, and it made it so that I haven't had a moment of RSI-related pain in 10 years... after debilitating pain for the year or so right before. Spreading the stress/strain across both sides of my body means that neither side does too much in too short a time. I kept the right side for home because I'm originally a righty and didn't want this work adaptation to detract from my creative work at home.
