personally i never experianced the sore finger tip pain. I guess from all the years of taking hot t-bags out of water with my fingers and taking hot plates in my hands without anything to protect from the heat and other related things I pretty much have no feeling in them.

However I have being suffering from wrist pain for a while now :( I been taking it easy trying to stretch hand and wrist, try to make sure I'm in a posture etc etc. but its taking ages, not really played much since feb, every time I did it was instant pain. Started again last few weeks but have had to build up from sessions lasting only 5 mins. So annoying!
