Work on elbow motion: ulbar nerve compression may be the reason so move your elbow for motion and it should resolve.

Sleeping pinky: It is possible that there is a little nerve impingement in your wrist or elbow giving you those feelings. Alternatively, it could be a decreased blood supply. If it persists or spreads, seek the evaluation of your doctor.
