Probably ulnar nerve: This is the distribution of the ulnar N which is commonly trapped at the elbow in the cubital tunnel, or less commonly at the wrist, guyon's canal. Shooting pain is the give away for nerve involvement. See a PMR doc or ortho doc or neurologist for an evaluation to diagnose this and get treatment. Braces, deep,heat, injections, or surgery may be indicated but need to diagnose cause first

EMG/NCV: You may need electrodiagnostic testing for further evaluation, which might also include ultrasound and/or MRI for further evaluation. See you doctor to create a diagnostic plan.
