Is it normal for my wrist to be numb?

I put my bike on a bike rack on the back of my car? I did it about three times yesterday now my wrist is burning and feels numb and I have pain running up and down my arm. Has this happened to anyone when lifting something heavy? Yes I'm a weak female but in my defense...the bike is heavy. =)

    You probably just pinched a nerve. The feeling should return soon. Be careful, and see a doctor if it doesn't come back.

      That's what I was thinking it could be but it sounds better coming from someone else. I've never experienced it before. How long does it take to heal?

        According to this article if it lasts more than few days you should see a doctor. And, you should go easy on it until it heals. http://www.mayoclinic.com/print/pinched-nerve/DS00879/DSECTION=all&METHOD=print

    I'm a reasonably strong man but I have arm pain today too, because I tried batting away an imaginary fly in a dream last night. My story makes me sound more of a girl than yours does. Either way, I hope we both feel better soon. :)
