Dear @jcf – I feel your pain – literally. My life experience is that whenever I learn a new physical activity, whether skiing, typing or playing guitar, I always start by using too much muscle. In time, as I develop skill, I reduce muscle effort. Not to sound bombastic but from a neuroscience point of view, new neural pathways form in the brain to support the new behavior – takes a little while. In short, hang in there – it will get better. And my fingers are doing better, both in terms of accuracy and reduced discomfort.
