Numb Thumb

2018-03-09 01:01:02
I was using a hole punch for a few hours about a week ago, and I felt a sensation through my thumb. After I was done, half of my thumb was completely numb. Nearly a week later, it is still numb. I don't know if this is a temporary problem, or if I should go see a neurologist or someone about it.
