Since you are on those antibiotics, I'd report this to the doctor.
Just to be sure it is not the beginning of an antibiotic reaction of some sort. If it persists past a day or two, and seems more permanent, then it should be discussed with the doctor.

I will discuss it with the doctor. My next appointment though is still a long way off.
I read the side efffects of the antibiotics that I am taking, nothing says about numbness....

I'd call the doctor then. Numbness is the beginning of nerve damage. So it may have another name.

Always report to the doctor even if it is on the phone... they will log that into your file, and have a record of it.

I've edited my post above, so please look at it again.

No advice, just wanted to say that I am sorry you have another symptom to deal with on top of everything else. I hope that things improve soon.
I have the cement feeling in both my lower legs more often than not. It is amazing to me that they can feel like that and still work at all, as you said of your thumb. I am sure it is a PN symptom.
The "dead arm" feeling was terrifying to me the first few times it happened. Now I more or less expect it several times a week.

Thanks Susanne.
I can take this numb thumb anytime of the day, its only uncomfortable. But, you are right having "another symptom to deal with on top of everything else" is not welcome.

I think this is a PN symptom. but its odd that it developed in my thumb and not in other parts..... NOT THAT I AM WANTING TO DEVELOP MORE OF IT. PLEASE - NO MORE!!!
