Bad posture might cause this; repetitive movement. Age, arthritis, lack of minerals/vitamins, or an occassional pull of the chair by your significant other who wants their time in front of the computer.

Switch to the other hand. When both hands are tired throw the mouse on the floor to use your left foot then the right one.
This technique will reduce %75 your pain from just using one hand.
