A member asked:
Why from my elbow down into my middle finger to my pinkie fall asleep so easily and only in my left arm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ulnar nerve: The ulnar nerve supplying the little finger and half the ring finger can become compressed at the cubital tunnel along the medial elbow causing numbness. This is the most likely problem. Involvement of the middle finger raises questions. Seek care with a hand surgeon or neurologist.
