Suggest Treatment For Muscle Weakness In The Fingers
I am experiencing weakness in my fingers, specifically ring finger and pinky on my right hand. It feels as though the ring finger is collapsing into the pinky. I began to notice it when squeezing something out of a plastic bottle so didn t think much of it at the time but it is occurring all the time now. There is no pain, just weakness. I am 61 YOA.

Dear patient
weakness in ring finger and little finger may be due to ulnar nerve involvement. Nerve is usually compressed at ulnar tunnel at elbow. Is sensation also decreased? I would like to confirm diagnosis by doing Nerve conduction studies of right ulnar nerve. Clinical diagnosis also can be done by neurophyysician. If report shows abnormal please visit neurophyysician nearby your area.
