Is playing guitar causing nerve damage?

Home More advice Music

Well iv been playing guitar for about a month now. I'm determined to learn so iv been practicing non stop. But iv noticed that iv lost a noticeable amount of the feeling in my pinky and ring finger since starting. Anybody who plays guitar knows it cant take a toll on your fingers, you have to build calluses and such. But it seems to be getting worse. Is this something i should worry about? Is it normal?
