I was taking a shower and noticed the water felt unbearably hot only on my left index finger. The same water felt fine everywhere else. Now I feel this weird burning/stinging sensation in my left thumb, index and middle fingers, and in a horizontal line across the top of my palm.
I tried looking it up and couldn't find anything helpful.
Earlier today I went to the gym for a very low impact class with no noticeable pain or injuries...
What gives?!

Are you diabetic?
Google diabetic nerve pain.

Go see a doctor. I had numbness in the outer two fingers on one hand. It turned out to be a nerve in my neck. The doctor immediately knew what it was when I told him the symptoms. I had to get a steroid injection in my neck. The sensation never came back.

Aw, thanks Jo! They're feeling better.
GF - I'm not diabetic but I did google nerve pain, figured it was worth a shot in case there was something I was missing. Thank you!
NotDefeated - that sounds terrible, I'm so sorry! I'm thinking I'll go to the doctor if it comes back.

That's the distribution of the median nerve. You may have had some temporary swelling in the carpal tunnel (where the nerve enters your hand across the wrist [carpal] bones). If it reoccurs go see your PCP.

I have had similar symptoms after doing heavy yard work, and then lying in bed with my arm over the covers. I think the "pump" in my arm muscles in my shoulder constricted my nerve and resulted in the numbness/prickles in my hand.
After a couple days of rest the swelling would go down and my symptoms would go away.
I have had this happen repeatedly and rubbing my armpit with my other hand would speed up the resolution of my symptoms within a few minutes, so I know the cause was high up my arm.
