Try pressing on it a little lighter or  moving your wrists a little higher. That may make it more comfortable.

It's just you.  Try one of these:  http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,palm_rests&pid=fkbprb  Unlike those rubbish "ergo" gel wrist pads available from office supply stores, the Filco palm wrest is both attractive and practical.

Those gel rests make my hands sweat and are too high.  I just use the old-school "thick mousepad" type.  (Warning: crappy cell phone pic attached)
