I know it's not what you want to hear, but have you considered switching to Colemak?  It won't help you with your next few days of typing, but my hands have been much happier since I switched over, and in the long term, it helps tremendously.

Also, if you're an Emacs user, change your Control key to another location on the keyboard. :)
