Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
The numbness could be due to nerve compression. This is possible at various levels. It could be due to compression of the spinal nerves at the cervical spine level or, ulnar nerve at the elbow level. Hypothyroidism, diabetes, tumors and infections of the ulnar and spinal nerves and rheumatism can all cause numbness of little and ring finger. Please consult a neurologist.  Hope this helps. Take care!

I had problem with my pinky tingling and some numbness.  A physical therapist suggested an impingement on the ulnar nerve might be the cause and asked if I leaned on my elbow a lot.  I thought not, but later discovered at home that I was leaning on the arm of the computer desk chair.

Hi, u may have something pinched in ur cervical spine....or a bulging disk.....I have spinal stinosis with a disk that is causing the same numbness.

See a good neurologist to test via MRI's .

Good luck
