I'm curious what technique you use to hand quilt. I use my thumb nail to push my needle, and I have the same problem. Been really trying to change the way I quilt, but to no avail. I'd think advil/motrin would alleviate some of the pain, and I don't think you should just try to work through it without taking a break.
