Nerve Injury: This sounds like an injury to the nerve. These do typically resolve but they can take months. I would recommend you see a hand surgeon for a full evaluation.

Should take 24-36 hr: If the numbness has not resolved within 36 hours you need to have your carpal tunnel released and the wrist injury fixed. See a hand surgeon.
