Hands and rigid forks?

Does anyone else have problems with their hands when riding with a rigid fork for moderate periods of time?

I ask because I was riding in town today for like 2 hours, and my hands were hurting a lot, it was like when I gripped the bars my knuckles got locked into that position and when I straightened my hand out it hurt to do it.. And riding over rocks make it even worse, but not if I gripped the bars harder.
It seems like it's not as bad with my mountain bike, but that bike sucks and I don't want to ride it.

Could it be the handlebars or grips or something? Or maybe I squeeze the grips too hard, or whatever? Am I just being a ***** and need to suck it up?
