What Causes Numbness On Finger After Getting Caught In A Rope?

I got my finger caught in a rope for about thirty seconds to a minute. It had the circulation cut off. It hurt a lot but the color came right back after about a minute. It is numb and I still can t feel it an hour and a half later. Should I be concerned?
