Thanks for your query
Based on your symptoms it seems you have developed neuropathy (ulnar nerve) that is disease of nerve. It needs to be confirming by clinically and by nerve test (EMG/NCV). Visit a local doctor .Do you have any skin changes associated with the pain?
The common reason could be compression, infection of nerve or vitamin B12 deficiency.
Take care and I shall be glad to answer any further query.
