?? Were you trying to punch yourself in the armpit?

Either way, sounds like you have just given one of the nerves in your hand that serve the extensor muscles a bit of a knock. It'll be a little bruised but should be ok soon. Try a little ice to reduce the swelling. It only takes a tiny bit of bruising or swelling to put a slight compression on a nerve (especially in an area so close to the surface) & the tingling, pain & dysfunction will occur. It's unlikely you have done any lasting damage. Of course, if your fingers shrivel up & drop off, I'd be inclined to seek help.
