In my opinion you could have injured your median nerve , or it could be simple inflamation compressing you median nerve
I recommend a nerve conduction study , also do a muscke test to make sure you did not cut any tendons
if your index or thumb get so cold or blue or black then you need to go to doctor immediatly ( blood is not flowing to them correctly )
Good a luck
