Hi Brian, The very same problem cropped up on my daughter's MacBook (polycarbonate version) but that was a known problem for that model that had an easy fix of putting a little wad of paper underneath the trackpad button. I don't know if the same fix will work with a MacBook Pro. If you are curious I could probably find the youtube video that I followed.
Alternatively, and this may not suit you at all but, you could try to get used to not clicking the track pad. I, personally, never click the track pad (with the exception of one operation in Xcode where it is required) -- but this is of course a matter of taste and choice. If you wish to try the Tap-to-Click feature, just tick the checkbox at: System Preferences => Trackpad => Tap to Click You have already found the work-around of an external mouse and you also have the option of an external trackpad.
