Ans: In that area. Sound like ulnar nerve issue. You can see your doctor for evaluation and possible nerve conduction studies. Did you injure your elbow area? Need more history.

Insufficient data: Your symptoms are not typical of either textbook carplal tunnel syndrome or ulnar neuropathy but overlap syndromes are common. Don't trust Doctor Google. See a live physician. Most important is to distinguish WHERE & only then, what: whether it's a problem in the forearm, shoulder or neck. You need a GOOD OFFICE HISTORY & EXAM by an astute clinician before blowing a lot of money on tests.
