Welcone to ' Ask a doctor service ' ,
I have reviewed your query and here is my opinion .
You have ulnar nerve entrapment .
Please tell that whether you have any neck stiffness or elbow pain or wrist pain .
If yes, then you need X-ray cervical spine or MRI elbow or MRI wrist .
If these are negative , then go for passive stretching exercises of affected fingers .
You should take neurotonic containing methylcobalamin and pyridoxine. Pregabalin may help.
If you are satisfied , then close the thread after giving favourable comments .
Let mw know if you need any further help .
