How funny--I was just searching through the forum for posts on how to deal with fingertip pain, but reading your post I realize that there is a part of me that finds it kind of addicting as well. I also like the numb feeling they have the day after I play.

That said, any tips on what to do when the pain gets to be TOO much, but you want to keep playing? I tried the superglue trick last week and it actually worked wonderfully, but it's not something I want to do often for obvious reasons.

Good luck with your playing!
