It's always something.....

For the past week or so I've had my little finger and ring finger of the left hand all numb and it was getting worse. This time it's not related to my truck.  As best as I understand it, the ulnar nerve is pinched somewhere, more likely at the elbow. Oh and the ulnar nerve is what makes the elbow have a 'funny bone'. That electrical sensation is your ulnar nerve.

The sucky part is that I sleep on that arm, elbow bent, so I have to stop it to heal and I also drive my car with my left hand only, since I learned to drive stick shift originally. 

I'm trying to keep my arm from being bent as much as possible, I'm hoping it will help
