Im in need of a new (and half decent) mouse, as my current one is too small and killing my hand when doing some work (yes I do do some work!). 
 
Any recommendations?

i have a microsoft wireless laser mouse 8000. it is optimal size for me and has a good weight to it, as i hate mice that are too light. also has a docking station to recharge. its almost like all my dreams of mice came true when i got this, it truly is the best mouse i have ever had.

My current one is just a Mac mouse. Its a stupid shape and a stupid size, so my big mitts have to grip to move it about and its giving me cramp after a few mins of usage

cramp in your hand when masturbation isn't involved? hardly seems worth it. 
 
is the mac bluetooth enabled? as that'll save you having the dongle sticking out for the fabulousMicrosoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000

i wouldn't bother paying top dollar for the 8000, i got it free from a supplier, they want £160 for the mouse and the keyboard   although the 7000 is about £100 less

Im not too arsed about price, Id rather have something that isnt going to give me shitty cramp, and isnt just a round shape and more contoured to my hand.

Apple designing something that looks nice, but isn't that great. Shocking   
 
On a serious note, most of the Logitech ones are fairly large, especially thier expensive wireless ones. They also have anice bit of weight to them and don't feel as cheap as the Apple ones.

  TBH I do have fairly large hands, so for the average person I have no doubt its probably OK. 
 
Yeah the Logitech ones do look really nice, may go for the MX Revolution one!

Revolution is an upgrade to my 1000 and I can confirm that it's the best mouse i've ever had.
