Sounds U might be --: having a nerve issue, like Carpal (affecting Thumb, 2nd + 3rd fingers) Tunnel syndrome; or Cubital TS (affecting Ring and Little fingers). These supply the small muscles of the hand and due to the wrist and hand motions involved in driving, in vulnerable individuals (due to anatomical factors) develop these symptoms. Get a Wrist brace or see an orthopod. Good Luck.
