You're kind of young to have carpal tunnel syndrome, so you probably just pinched your median nerve. Just your thumb and index finger right? If it involves your arm it could be higher up the line in your brachial plexus or cervical spine.

Feeling should come back in a few days, if not think about seeing a doctor.

I've lost feeling in my thumb from heavy farmers walks. Sometimes it may take 3 to 4 weeks for it to come back.

That's what I was thinking.
