Yo girl just practise practise practise! Personally I've never exp'd pinky pain as you describe, but really just get that dexterity up, don't tense up, wrist positioning helps

Keep practicing, after a few weeks you'll get used to using pinkie, without pain, getting sore, etc.

as for your hand cramping, just relax every once in a while, stretch if you need to

and if you cracking your knuckles is a habit, stop it. It's not a good habit and it'll lead to problems in the future[/quote]

Its not numb and its not a sharp pain but an ache.
