Ulnar nerve issue: The distribution of your numbness is in the ulnar nerve distribution of the hand. Most common issues are nerve compression at the wrist in guyon's canal, at the elbow in the cubital tunnel or as the result of cervical radiculopathy. Seek care for evaluation particularly if you are developing any weakness or muscle wasting. See a neurologist or hand surgeon.
