Dude, that's exactly what it is. I get the exact same pain when I'm editing on my laptop. I swapped out for a trackball myself. I can type all day long because I can get things set up to eliminate that strain, but editing takes a lot more awkward movement using the trackpad.

I like a trackpad, they're convenient as heck, but they just aren't good for sustained use imo.
