I've had this problem a long time ago when a nerve got trapped in my elbow. Same tingling sensation in my pinky too but not as painfull as you describe unless I bend the elbow more then usual.
It was pretty annoying but I gave it the appropiate restperiod as I assumed it was guitar related. I've had more problems by 'over' practising and once I understood it could dammage things in my arm I take a break away from playing as soon as I notice even the slightest pain.
The sooner you do that the sooner the problem goes away.
I've not experienced any further negative issues after these facts and am still practising, at 60+ years old, as much as I did when I was 20.
