Tinging little finge: Cubitsal tunnel is compression of the ulnar nerve behind the inside of the elbow. Any activity that keeps the elbow bent can compress the nerve. The symptoms start with a funny feeling in the arm then intermittent numbness of the little and part of the ring finger starts. This can wake one at night. If ignored one can develope permanent numbness and hand weakness.

Pain, numbess, weak: Cubital tunnel syndrome is compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow. This usually causes numbness/tingling in the ring and small fingers as well as a loss of hand dexterity or strength. Long term compression may lead to pain and hand weakness/muscle loss. Symptoms are exacerbated by extreme elbow flexion and/or pressure on the inside part of the elbow.
