I expect those symptoms will again resolve with rest but they seem abnormal at your age. If symptoms recur in the near future you should see your doctor or preferably a neurologist.

I should think that this qualifies as an overuse syndrome and that all the finger symptoms will resolve with a period of resting that finger.
