When my hand gets numb it feels like a thousand needles are stabbing my pinkie-side. how do i prevent this?

Cubital tunnel: It could be cubital tunnel syndrome - a pinched nerve at the elbow. A hand surgeon can make the definitive diagnosis and treat. In the meantime avoid leaning on your elbow and avoid the bent position of the elbow for long periods.
