As we say every time joint pain, numbness, or other discomfort arises when playing an instrument:

See a doctor - right away. After you get a diagnosis (or diagnoses - by all means see more than one doctor if you can since very few doctors specialize in musician's injuries - a doctor well-versed in sports medicine can be of help, though) then perhaps we can offer some exercises or other things that you can discuss with your doctor.

Let us know what your doctor says.
