Accepted Answer

You might try ..: .... an over-the-counter wrist splint.  I concur with your diagnosis that some nerve compression is going on, and it may be at the elbow, but even stabilizing the ulnar nerve (suppliers of the 4th and 5th digits) at the wrist could help.  Anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen/naproxen could reduce swelling if this is part of the problem. If it goes on a week or more, you should contact your doctor

Shape of the chest: since it is common to many members of the family equally between males and females,then it must be the shape of the thoracic cavity that could be inherited is the cause of the problem
costochondritis is common in some family more than others more common in female because of the breast weight and the nature of the bra women ware
try NSAIDS,and heat pad,abd soft bra.
good luck

As long as he is : Trained as a neurosurgeon or orthopedic spine surgeon if you are seeking surgical treatment otherwise  for non operative care treatment can be sought from an osteopath.

Possibly: As you move the pelvis you undoubtedly move the lumbar spine.  If there is already degeneration in the spine then it is possible that the pelvic tilt could result in accentuating the nerve irritation.  In order to get a better sense i would recommend seeing a spine specialist or physiatrist or even perhaps an osteopathic physician to address this issue.
