Today at school i was closing my binder and my wrist got cought in the rings. It hurt like hell but i didn't think anything of it. This happened like 9 hours ago and it still huts like hell. I lost some feeling in my fingers. My hand and wrist are weak. My hand is tingly it feels like pins and needlels. The pain is shooting up my arm towards my elbow. What could have happened and why does hurt so much after 9 hours?

call your dr to see if you can get in to be seen today if the office is still open. if it is not-call the dr anyway-they usually have on on-call service and will page the dr so he/she can call you back at home. explain your situation and exactly what is going on with your arm. they will advise you on what to do next (whether it be report to the er or wait till am to be seen in office)
if you don't have a family dr then i would strongly advise you be seen in an urgent care or er.
it sounds like you pinched a nerve which is effecting how your hand and arm function. more testing will be required to determine if you damaged other parts of your hand (such as veins,tendons,etc). if some of these parts have been injured-it could turn serious, restricting blood flow to your arm.
bottom line-either call your dr right away or seek medical attention within the next few hours
good luck to you

I think that you pinched or even damaged a nerve in your wrist. I think you should get it check out before it get worse

Only thing i could think of was maybe you hit a nerve or something... I'd get it checked out if I were you because that doesn't sound too good... *Best of Luck!*
