Re: Numbness in ring and pinky finger. Ulnar nerve damage?

It also sounds like ulnar nerve syndrome either at the wrist or elbow. I would see your doctor and get a referral to a hand surgeon. Usually a nerve conduction test will pinpoint if there is a problem area. I was diagnosed a few weeks ago with ulnar nerve compression at the elbow, quite compressed. I will need surgery. I wouldn't leave it as the problem can become worse over time. Sometimes they try conservative treatments first if it is not too compressed such as wearing a splint at night to keep your arm straight. I found that leaning on my elbows made the tingling worse so try to avoid that.
