Had it happen before, went away after a few days.

You can get a slow adaptation response to high forces on the tips which I now experience as a bit of "permanent" numbness to sharp loads.

In the acute case I did some reading of a few textbooks that had gathered some dust and ended up thinking it was either a "pinched nerve" or an acute adaptation or trauma to the mechanoreceptors in the fingertips which then healed.

Can you feel mild temperature changes? Get pain from extreme hot/cold? Feel the difference between surface roughness?

Or is completely numb?
