Sounds like a serious problem. You should have that checked out by a doctor or a chiropractor. ************************************************************* This is a fairly common condition called ulnar neuritis or draftsman's elbow...usually caused by leaning forearm on edge of desk, table etc..for long periods of time. It can also be caused from repetitive elbow use and or arthritic build up at the joint where the ulnar nerve passes through. The person usually has numbness down his elbow (same area if you ever have hit your funny bone) and in his ring and or little finger that may be relieved by repositioning.
