Now I know you're all thinking that this is just a case of beginner tenderness and toughing it out ... but I'm not so sure.

I've been playing for nearly 3 months and practice an hour a day, sometimes more. I have pads on my fingers that have built up as they are supposed to do. However, over the last week my third finger has become ultra sensitive ... it feels as though a pin is being stabbed into it when I play. I didn't practice yesterday. I'm wondering if there is something else up - like a damaged nerve or something?

I'm playing a 6 string steel acoustic...

Anyone else suffer anything like this?
