Pinched nerve sounds about right, yes.
I tried to make a clip off a deep finger pocket during a road trip once. Stupid me didn't want to climb that extra 10cm to the good holds. The finger felt normal when I took the other hand off to clip – but once it had to bear weight while I hauled up rope to clip, I lost all feeling. The feeling remained absent for the remainder of the trip (approx 8 weeks!).
It may have just been, Briony, that a delicate part of a tendon was pressing down hard on an edge and that started the weird feeling in your hand…
Best of luck with your recovery!!
