Hi Dear xxx ! Thank you for posting your questions here .
A according to what you prescribe it may be a sensory nerve damage .
I suggest to go to the hospital to do a physical examination by the doctor .He will check your hand movement to rule out any motor nerve damage..Also to do a hand X -ray for any broken bones . The soon you go is better , so if there is any nerve damage , you will start the treatment to prevent any further damage.
Meanwhile put some ice within 48 yours after the injury , and stable (less movement).

Wish these help .
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me.
