I hold my yarn over my left arm, under my hand, between my middle and index fingers and over my index finger with the open end in my palm. Similar to this. That allows it to flow easier for me and I don't have to hold the pressure on the yarn with my finger and thumb. Other ideas.
You can also try something like this ... Finger Saver. This one is $2 but if you look up crochet rings there are free patterns out there, or wing it. Try using fatter yarns when your hands are particularly painful. As time goes on you can get these for your hooks ... Closed-Cell Foam Tubing for Grip Support. They're pretty standard foam rubber tubing that you can squeeze over them for easier use. I read about them many moons ago on this subreddit actually and put it in my Amazon list for when I need them.
My husband got me a gorgeous set of Addi hooks for Christmas because I apparently crochet in "knife" formation. (Didn't realize that was a thing) I've had to kind of re-do how I hold my hook and everything but it helps a little. Hope some of that is useful!
