: according to what the others have posted, those symptoms seem to be related to possibly having cubital tunnel syndrome,which involves the ulnar nerve instead of the median nerve. The median nerve is for the thumb, index, middle and half of the ring finger, while the ulnar nerve is for the other half of the ring finger and the pinky.

Not neccessarily My CTS affected the middle index and little fingers on both hands. When I mentiontioned this to the Surgeon whilst he was doing my Op he said that the two are inter-related and that there is a crossover of the nerves in some people so what presents as one can be the other. My bilateral Carpal TS ops did the trick and my symptoms were Cubital TS. The way they tell is by doing the funtion tests on the nerves in the hand and mine came up as Carpal in both hands.
