I had always used non-ergonomic mice and kbs, until one day I started noticing some wrist pain when in certain positions. After a few months the pain increased and I figured this wasn't right so I bought one of those Microsoft Natural Keyboards, and after a week or so, the pain went away.
Some time later I started with wrist pain again but now in positions related to the mouse use, so I bought an Evoluent mouse and again, after a couple of weeks the pain was noticeably lower, and so I was convinced that the position of my wrists was not ideal for thousands of hours of use.
So, my point is, you don't have to wait until it's too late to try to figure out a way to fix that. I don't think age is the only factor here, so just try out something on the affordable side and see if you get better, regardless of how young you are, begore things get worse.
