Yes that it is. You don't say what your build is but sorcs have an especially tough time in hell because 1/4 of everything is immune to your primary attack.
If you don't have one go back to nightmare and grab a holy feeze merc and level him up. Give him the heaviest armor and pokin stick he can use as he is a sorc's only defense. Get used to feeding him potions, teleporting him out of danger and frequently going back to town to res him.
Quill rats are especially difficult because their missiles are nearly invisible. All missle attacks in hell are much more dangerous for a sorc because they attack more frequently and they pack on the elemental damage. If your resists suck and your life is low you will die a lot. My sorcs(and my other chars really) tend to put most of their points in vitality.
At least your are a sorc, can you imagine how bad melee chars have it?
Step 2: Acquire and train a monkey. This step may take some time.
