There will be an element of muscle wastage if it's left on for a long time, around two weeks and wastage can occur noticeably without use.
Did you read the link I put in?
You may have slightly damaged the nerve by pinching or posture or lack of blood flow when the wrist was bent and caused inflammation to the median nerve?
Was your head resting on the inside of your hand or was the the wrist bent over and your head was on the outside of the wrist/arm? I am trying to visualise your head and hand position.
If it was in the palm of your hand pushing down on the wrist, it could be the median nerve inflamed in the carpal tunnel.
If it was on the outside of your wrist on the hand was bent over it is most likely the tendon swollen.
Ice and rest/sling for a couple of days, and avoid using that hand for heavy lifting for a few days.
Not a doctor, please seek advice if it get worse and all that.
It sounds to me like tendonitis where you've put weight and pressure on the bend of the wrist where the tendons are close.
There is no discolouration of your fingers or hand correct?
And you can move your fingers, but can't support weight on the wrist or when gripping?
I would ice the wrist for a little bit, and possibly put it in a sling so it is supported and allow any inflammation to decrease.
I am not a doctor and this is in no way meant to replace good medical advice. Have a look here for more information.
