What exactly does it mean when your thumb has been numb for the pass three days?

Carpal tunnel: It certainly could be carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve in your wrist which makes your fingers go numb. It may also be due to cervical / neck disk disease. See a hand surgeon for an examination and treatment.
