Ulnar nerve: The ulnar nerve supplies feeling to part of your ring finger and the pinky. It travels from your neck, across your elbow and then into the palm of your hand. A common area where it can get irritated is at the elbow. Avoid leaning on your elbows or bending them excessively to minimize irritation there.
