The muscle below my pinky finger hurts, what could be wrong?

Overuse: That muscles is known as the abductor digiti minimi and is responsible for deviating the little finger out of the palm. It is part of the hypothenar eminence. Most likely cause would be overuse or trauma. Reccomend hand surgical evaluation.
