Numbness in thumb

Hola senors,
Three days ago I damaged something in my wrist and now my thenar (the fat/muscle that connects the underside of your thumby wumby to your palm) goes a little numb when I have my thumb in certain positions. It has been getting better and is almost gone now, but I'd like to figure out what I wrecked.
The situation went down like so:
I had purchased about two months worth of non perishable groceries and loaded them into my trunk. In total it was about 20 full plastic bags. When I got home I decided that all of a sudden I was this manly bloke (aka lazy idiot) and told my wife to load them all onto my arms so we could do it in one trip. I think I managed about 3/4 of them before I headed up the two stories to my apartment. The total weight was probably about 50-60 pounds per arm. Of course on the way up they all bunched up at my wrists but I kept going. When I put them down in the kitchen, my wrists were all red and my right thenar started to feel numb after about 5 minutes.
I am guessing that I damaged some veins that feed to the numb area. They are healing but maybe this can lead to permanent damage? I certainly ain't goin to see no docturr fo this here problem.
So, any ideas H&A?

I guess that's pretty much what I'd suggest.
