Hi, I too have been experiencing finger joint pain, i actually went to my doctor, who sent me for a blood test for Arthiritus.I had wondered if it was the pole but thought i was being stupid.
Im pleased to hear that im not the only one experiencing this problem and can stop worrying a bout Arthitus and think about just strengthing my fingers. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
