I've had pain extending down the outside of my forearm, through the outside wrist and into the pinky finger. any idea what i may be dealing with?

Pain forearm/ pinky: Could be ulnar nerve compression from cubital tunnel syndrome or from thoracic outlet syndrome .If you press at the inner groove at your elbow you may elicit pain and that would help with the diagnosis. NSAIDS ,splintng at night to prevent elbow bending may help (cubital tunnel) ,as may elevating arm on pillow when sleeping . F/u/ w/ orthopedist.
