ULNAR: The location suggests ulnar nerve irritation, perhaps from elbow but maybe at wrist (guyon's canal). Alternatively, could be joint or tendon issues. Perhaps associated with computer keyboard activity or texting? May well be self-limited and reverse, but if not, might check in with your doctor if persistent.
