First : First of all if you are having so much stress in your life and you are dealing with it by putting rubberbands on your finger, you need a mental health evaluation and treatment. There are safer more effective ways to deal with stress. The tingling sensation should go away, however if it does not then you need to be seen right away by a medical professional. Good luck.

Compressed nerve: Do not worry. The band pinched the nerves of the finger and it will stop heal in a few hours once you remove rubber bands.
