Hello,

These symptoms indicate a possible ulnar nerve compression at the elbow.

This possibility should be evaluated further by tests such as nerve conduction study.

If confirmed then surgical decompression of the nerve may be necessary. Discuss with your doctor for these issues.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
