When I started again after many years of not playing my fingers hurt also. I put superglue on the tips of my fingers and then would play some more. The superglue would ware off in about a day or so and then I would put more on again. It did help.

Welcome mart1018. It's been quite a while since I've visited GFB myself because I travel 80% of the time now for work. I had forgotten how freindly and helpfull everyone is. I think your gonna enjoy it here.
All great things are only a number of small things that have carefully been collected together.
