A hooker’s hands are susceptible to any number of repetitive motion injuries, and I strongly recommend that you take care of yourself as you create your masterpieces. It is important to take breaks! Treat yourself to a more ergonomic hook that you can make yourself with polymer clay and metal hooks, or buy from Etsy, or even buy from Furls - which have a number of beautiful hooks. My personal favorite store bought hook is a Clover Soft Touch hook - they help me to be able to crochet for hours without pain!
Additionally there are exercises you can do to help prevent these injuries all together. Here’s an excellent video providing instruction on how to safely do some appropriate exercises specifically for knitters or crocheters.
