Uknaer Ulnar nerve: Those symptoms are of ulnar nerve compression, most likely when it passes behind the elbow joint and sometimes in the wrist area as well, try to pay attention not to put pressure on those areas to avoid having the symptoms you described. If stmptoms persist, see a doctor to rule out peripheral neuropathy.
