Why would your ring and little finger be twitching?

You may have damage to your ulnar nerve (its the nerve that runs behind your elbow we commonly call your 'funny bone' nerve). This nerve works some of the muscles that work those two fingers. It also gives you feeling in those two fingers. If it is damaged you may have tingly feelings or numbness as well. This may be caused by the nerve being pinch, compressed, or stretched along its path. Possibly a pinched nerve in your neck or arthritis at the elbow, propping on your elbows for long periods, or by holding your arms bent for a long period like when you hold the newspaper while reading it. You should see your doctor.


What is the treatment for a pinched nerve in the neck?

I'm no expert, but I recently had a pinched nerve in my neck. My advice would definitely be to go to a doctor, chiropractor, or osteopath, etc because depending on where exactly the nerve is, the treatment is different - and if you don't get it treated properly, the nerve will die (after a long while I think) and you won't be able to feel the part of your body it connected to.Anyway, I went to a chiropractor, and she adjusted my neck to make sure every thing was properly aligned, and then instructed me to do the following:Ice the affected area for ONLY 20 minutes, once ever hour (I just wrap an icepack/bag of vegetables around my neck). I'm supposed to do this for the next 4 days or so and if the pain (and numbness maybe in your case) doesn't go away, see her again.And take an anti-inflammatory pill, like Aleave (I think) or Ibuprofen (which is a NSAID -- Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug). I think Advil is made of the same exact thing as ibuprofen so that works too. Make sure it's OK for you to take these kinds of pills though by asking a doctor -- I researched Ibuprofen once and it has A LOT of possible side effects, many of which are rather scary.The reason for icing and the pill is to reduce the inflammation caused by the nerve being pinched, and this is supposed to relieve the nerve, I believe (again, I'm not an expert).Anyway, make sure you see a professional for your specific case because it may not be the same as mine.
