It can be painful. Try resting the clarinet on your knee or between your legs for now. A few people may say the low E/B will be out of tune. Who cares, it's better than not playing! Clarinet playing should be fun. Also try a neck strap.
I've moved my thumb rests on my horns to or about 1 3/4" from the top of the upper joint. It's easy to do, but if you have worries let a repairman drill it. The trick is to use tape on the drill bit, marking the depth you want to go, then no deeper. You don't want to make a mistake and drill a hole all the way through and into the bore. So the tape around the tiny drill bit marks the exact spot to stop. Later you can have that old hole filled by a repairman and no one will ever know.
