When I developed bilateral carpal tunnel at 15, my trackpad hand was notably worse and it was greatly aggravated by trackpad use. The difference was so significant that I only bothered having surgery on my trackpad hand (right), I avoided surgery on my left so I keep it as my grabbing hand, since the pain wasn't nearly as bothersome and switching to programmer DVORAK significantly mitigated the pain I was experiencing in the first place.
