That happenned to me a few weeks ago after practicing a lesson with lots of bendings, I forced my ring finger too much and when I touched something it felt like a needle on the tip of the finger. I stopped playing that day, let it rest, and next day the pain was almost gone, and after 48h it was completely gone.
I'd say give it some rest, and if it continues go see a doctor just in case. It's probably nothing serious, so don't worry too much

Something like this should definitely be taken serious. It seems that you just "overused" your finger, all those bends might have used your muscles too much. Taking a break is for sure a good thing, but I would also recommend seeing a doctor, just to be sure. If you want to restart your practicing, make sure that you properly warm up (I can't mention enough that this is SO important) and stop immediately if the pain comes back.

I agree with Marcus you seem to overused your ring finger when bending and vibrating. These exercises should be always done with extra care, as they put the biggest amount of strain on the fingers - I never practice more than 20 minutes at a time doing these before making a pause.
I also had similar problems when doing long sessions, but the problem went away after couple of weeks. I suggest that you don't play too much guitar in this period, and specially do not do the same exercises that led you to your state now. Also if the problem still remains after one month and you weren't practicing that much, then consult a doctor, cause they usually know what is the best thing to do in such occasions. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

No problem mate we are glad to help. BTW you can do a lot of exercises w/o the ring finger, and they can do you good as well. Lots of times when you use only limiter amount of fingers you get new ideas if you know what I mean. Your decision to go to a doctor is a wise one - tell us how it went mate. Good luck.

Warmups are the best antidote for something like this.. I especially like Marcus' warmup lesson =)
I experienced this at one point (no pun intended, seeing as this is a finger problem). I took a week off, and started off slowly again, with playing only a few minutes a day to make my fingers getting used to play again. Be careful!

Perhaps that pain was a natural way for your organism to say:"stop don't play and let your fingers rest a bit". Just don't play for a while mate and it will be OK. Also in the future, never do such extensive workouts and put much strain on fingers. Just take it easy, and watch your fingers more mate.
