I'm a student, and sat down yesterday and wrote 17 pages of notes on a 3x5 index card (which is allowed for tests in my class). This probably took me about 6 hours, and I'm sure that my shoulder was scrunched while I was trying to write as small as I could.
I remember my right thumb (I'm right-handed) being numb after I had finished last night, and it's still numb today. No pain-more the tingly feeling that you get when your foot falls asleep. Only on the pad of the thumb. What's going on?

you could have pinched a nerve

you've compressed your median nerve somewhere along the way.
best course is to see a chiropractor. i get my wrists adusted on a regular basis because I am always working with my hands.
