The touch pad on the MBP causes me a lot of pain as well. I started carrying around a Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer and had the touchpad turn off when a mouse is plugged in. I'm now able to type for long periods of time without killing my wrist or thumb. (It's still hard to break the habit of tapping the pad with my thumb to click.)

Avoiding mouse use entirely is even better ergonomically. Bonus: it makes you a lot faster.
