It just happened last week and I have no idea what I did, but it was exactly the pain you describe. In two days it was completely gone. I wouldn't be too worried unless the pain doesn't go away.
Do you get sudden and immediate bruising in your wrist AND thumb? And when it bruised, I felt shooting pain up my wrist, along the underside of my arm...

I am almost positive it has something to do with my thumb, too, though.
