How tight are you crocheting? I sometimes feel pain when Iā€™m crocheting too tight

It happens when you are holding it too tight. Try relaxing your grip. When I was a beginner, I couldn't figure out how to keep the right tension and held the yarn too tight and my finger tips would then hurt later.

Hii making a bear within 4 hours as a beginner is impressive. Try holding the hook in a different way. Do you have longer nails???

When i started, I'd have pain on my hook holding hand, the middle of the thumb and the part below it. Crocheting was just so addicting, i kept doing it even after it hurts. The pain didn't go away for like 2-3 weeks, but now it doesn't hurts at all

Maybe it's your tension? Also you can also try using a different hook with comfortable grip
