Anyone's hands get sore after priming brass?

Yeah, I have tumours all through my hands, forget what they're called, but they ache regardless of what I'm doing and when I use my hand priming tool they ache even more. Can only do about 100 cases before I need a break.
It really is a debilitating condition.

Even using my press handle is tedious due to them.

Cheers.

That was what I was after. Thank you @MagnumManiac.

I have a brand new Competition Primer Seater sitting here with your name on it. No charge. You'll never buy (or want to use) another priming tool as long as you live. Just PM me your real name, then put an order in for a CPS on our website. You'll check out for the full amount, but you will not be charged. In the comments section during checkout... reference this post and I'll see that you do not pay a cent. I hope this helps set the tone for you in 2021.

Happy New Year!

That's some subtle marketing / advertising.
Nice $600 primer seater.

I'd like to hear about it.
Yes my hand is killing me after 20-30 cases. I have nerve damage from a work injury along with Trigger Finger syndrome in my thumb and ring finger, I have to get cortisone shots every couple months. Priming cases is the worst part of loading for me.
 
With the bench mounted rcbs unit it makes my hand more sore than using a hand primer. I load 200 at a time for each rifle and the bar on that bench primer rides right on a nerve or something and makes my thumb go numb. Either going to tape it up or go back to hand primer.

If giving away the most effortless priming tool in the world to a guy that needs it is advertising, then so be it. I'll use any justification I can to do some good in this world when the urge hits me. I wish more people would.

...and if Andy would check his email, We'd already be signed up for sponsorship for the year. ;) @Andy Backus If we're not able to get together via email, you can always give me a call. :) 605-554-1911

I wish I could give our priming tool to everyone in your situation. Unfortunately that just isn't practical. However, I can give you a $50 discount if you reference this post in the comments during your checkout process. The CPS has taken the agony out of priming for a lot of people over the years.
 
I use two Dillons. One for small primer cases, and one for large primer cases. I started with, and use for small runs, the RCBS machine shown above.
