My heart wants to keep playing, but my left hand tells me to stop.

Haha I admire your ambition to play guitar to the extent of bleeding fingers.
But yes, you should probably stop and let them heal. I actually would use a small amount of bagbalm on my tips of the fingers when I started playing. It would make it so my fingers were not dry enough to crack and bleed. Although if you use too much, it'll probably make your fingers too slick and slippery.
As for the joints, before you start playing, run your hands under hot water for a minute or two. Makes it so it loosens up the joints and makes them a little more flexible.
