Hello,
Numbness and tingling in the ring finger and little finger are common symptoms of ulnar nerve entrapment. Often, these symptoms come and go. They happen more often when the elbow is bent, such as when driving or holding the phone. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest using a brace to prevent further damage.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
