What Causes Numbness And Tingling In The Ring And Little Fingers?
For the last 5 days, I have had numbness and tingling in my left little and ring fingers and a little on that side of my hand. I did not hit it or injure in any way. It feels like it s asleep all the time. It makes me nervous, because I had an aunt with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis who has a daughter with myasthenia gravis and an uncle on the same side who died of ALS.

Hello,
The persistent tingling and numbness involving ring and little fingers indicate issue with possible compression of ulnar nerve at elbow or lower levels. Kindly get an examination with expert neurologist in this case and get further guidelines of management accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
