If the numbness is on the pinky side including the other half of the ring finger and up the hand, then the problem may lay in the ulnar nerve which can be compressed in the wrist, elbow, shoulder or neck. These problems can be treated and it is important that it is as permanent damage can result to the nerves concerned resulting in wastage and atrophy to the muscles in the hand.
