Many reasons: There are many reasons for these symptoms including pressure on nerves at the elbow or wrist. Are you possibly sleeping in a way that causes such pressure at these joints? If they symptoms persist or worsen, see your primary care provider, who may refer you to a neurologist if indicated. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000789.htm

I've been having numbness in my left ring an pinky finger the past 3 days. The week prior I had severe pain in the area behind my elbow. This tells me it's a pinched nerve. Is there anything I can do without going to a doctor?
