Sounds like it's possible there's some tendon damage. But I don't know, I'm not qualified to say.
But regardless, or should I say, especially because, of any wrist damage, please remember to hold the guitar ergonomically correct for the left hand. You may have already heard this stuff before, but be sure to hold the neck and play with your hand in the most natural position possible. You will stretch and arch the hand and fingers beyond what is the natural position, but this is the right road to follow. When your hand begins to hurt, 'shake it off'. Shake the hand back and forth and stretch the fingers and tendons and get your hand feeling natural again before playing again.
Sorry, don't mean to be sounding like a doctor, it's just that I've 'been there and done that'.
All the best,
Steve
