Hi,

The symptoms in your message are highly suggestive of an ulnar nerve condition. This condition, probably at the wrist, is affecting the ulnar nerve and compressing it, thereby causing the pain in the area you mentioned. You will need to meet a neurologist in your area to test you with a Nerve Conduction Study which may give you the clear picture.

Depending on the severity, modality of treatment can be suggested- surgical, intraarticular or medical. In the meantime, you can start with the medicines like pregabalin, which may afford you some pain relief.

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