After carrying 4 heavy plastic bags i now have numbness in the tip of my middle finger. it's been 2 hours. any suggestions would be appreciated?

Compression neuritis: should resolve with time and/or the use of 1-2 Advil or 1 tablet of Aleve as directed, assuming that you are not allergic to NSAIDS. Sounds like you might have compressed the median nerve or carpal tunnel. If symptoms persist 24-48 hrs. you must be seen and examined.
