Yes, Thank U. I Just Had Surgery On My Broken

yes, thank u. i just had surgery on my broken wrist today at 2pm. pins were used. i was put under anesthesia. afterward given 3 diiferent pain meds at hopital which i can't spell. if need be i can find out. one started with a D and another with a P. i am now at home. i have taken 1 Norco....at 1/2 hour later, 4 advil. i also took Turmeric capsules (approx 4 over a 2-3 hour period. plus, before bed drank 1 tsp of calicum/mag called CALM.
perhaps this is normal but my thumb feels numb/dead ...except for the tip. my other fingers are not the same. not too much discoloration....maybe slightly light blue at base of thumb. dressing not too tight. should my thumb be feeling like this? back of hand feels the same. broken bone and pin on thumb side. 2 pins total on wrist. should i be worried? or am i feeling this becausse other meds wearing off? or am i possibly having some type of interaction between norco...advil....turmeric...cal/mag? sorry this took so long to type. i am typing with one/left hand.
also, my after surgery instructions say 'call surgeon if you have....increased, ongoing pain or numbness'
how long is ongoing? or is this part of what normally happens? thanks
