I have cubital tunnel syndrome. It's LIKE carpal tunnel but it's the nerve that runs along the back of your elbow. My hands (mainly the pink, ring finger, and the part of the hand those fingers are one) hurts, swells, and cramps up. My pinky finger is curved up a little. My arm goes numb a lot nd especially if I bend it. You seem to have this. I've had tests done and even a surgery to correct it in one arm. The surgery is simple- they go in- and they either cut the nerve in VERY VERY rare cases or they cut the tendon casing on the nerve so it doesn't get trapped. Sometimes your tendon can let the nerve lose and it'll pop but other than that it stops most of the pain and numbness. BUT if you bend your arms you'll get numb. I suggest sleeping and keeping your arms straight like I do and talking to a doctor about it. CUBITAL TUNNEL IS REAL AND IS NOT CARPAL TUNNEL.
What 2 fingers? If i's your ring and pinky finger- then I know the diagnosis. It's cubital tunnel. Just like carpal tunnel but the nerve around your elbow (aka the funny bone) gets pinched causing your fingers to go numb. I've had it for 2 years now. I've had surgery in one arm for it. It's not fun but if you sleep with your arms straight and keep em straight it can go away.
Did you consider asking a doctor about cubital tunnel and fibromyalgia? my fingers (pinky and ring fingers) as well as the right/left side of my arms are numb and tingly and painful due to cubital tunnel. My body aches in my arms, left leg, neck, and shoulders and I never hurt them- fibromyalgia is to blame. I do play computer and I do have IBS/stomach problems. Maybe these are your problems :)
I've been diagnosed with quite a few problems In both of my arms, I have cubital tunnel. Aka ulnar nerve compression. I had a surgery on my right arm to cut the tendon casing so it doesn't get pinched. I sleep with my arms straight so they don't go numb. If I don't I wake up with no feeling in them. My nerve pops sometimes and if you hit my elbow- it hurts worse than normal. I still have it in my left hand and now my pinky is curled up- a symptom that happens when you have long progressing cubital tunnel. My hands still hurt and ache a little- mainly the left hand that I didn't have surgery on. I play computer a lot and my mom and grandma have had carpal tunnel and carpal tunnel surgeries. Perhaps this will help you out?
I also have osteoarthritis and osteochondritis dissecans. These lead to my arm popping, grinding, sticking, going numb, swelling, turning red, hurting, aching, feeling weak, etc. I've had a major debrement and cartilage removal surgery as well as arthroscopic surgery for my elbow. It did help with some of the pain. But the pain is always there.
I recently got diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I did strain my neck so the pain in my neck and arms is worsened by the fibro. The worst part is- I feel fatigued like I ran a mile when I did nothing. The fibro also makes my left knee and leg hurt for no reason. I also have irritable bowel syndrome as well and that makes life a little harder. The fibro caused it- before I knew I had fibro, I missed 3 days of work cause of severe stomach sickness.
Now- I've been currently out of work due to having woken up with a completely numb left side. I had felt super heavy headed and sleepy all of a sudden the night before. When I woke up- I had a BAD charlie horse and couldn't feel anything really from my face down. I slept it off and woke up to find it was a little less worse but still horribly tingly.
I've had a recent history of seizures. I was born late with my head caved in. From the time I was 10 months old til I was 7 I had a total of 72 heat strokes and seizures. My doctor told my mom hey were febrile seizures and that either I'd die, end up brain dead, or have problems in the long run.
So far, I've had an MRI and I've seen my primary care specialist. I am being referred to a neurologist. I have a pain specialist and my main doctor who gave me my 2nd surgery. Currently I have no diagnosis besides the ones listed above for the numbness. A doctor did guess either Multiple Sclerosis or A partial Seizure.
The pain is in my neck/shoulder, left arm, and the shin in my left leg. I can't feel my left side of my face- when I smile it feels like it's wrinkling up. My back is semi-numb and so is my leg. The loss of sensation is where my left elbow/hand is, my shin where I had the charlie horse, and my neck/shoulder.

See if you can get your neck checked out. My father's whole arm and foot went numb due to a few compressed spinal discs pinching some nerves.
You, my friend, have CUBITAL TUNNEL. I'm a big gamer and pc gamer. I play games A LOT!!! It showed up about 3 years ago. My pinky, ring finger, and the side of the hand they;re on started hurting. ON BOTH SIDES. It got to the point they were numb and weak. So I went to a doctor. The signals in my nerves GET TO MY HANDS then they become SLOW on the way back. I had the surgery in my right arm (along with a surgery for my arthritis). My doctor cut the tendon casing that holds the nerve in place. What happens is- your ulnar nerve (AKA the funny bone) gets pinched or compressed. If you bend your arm- your arm will go numb. And over time your hand and left side of your arm can hurt. KEEP YOUR ARMS STRAIGHT WHENEVER YOU CAN. And, if it helps- buy arthritis gloves. They help with the hand pain. My arms go numb whenever I bend them even for a second. Go to a doctor to see what they can do. Surgery is for major cases usually. I had to have the surgery cause I couldn't even feel things in my hands. hey can do physical therapy and even make you a night brace that keeps your arms straight at night. I HOPE THIS HELPED! :D

Fibromyalgia. Ask a doctor. I have pain in my arms, my knees, my neck, my shoulders and my hands. (I do have arthritis and other things wrong with my arms/neck) BUT fibromyalgia cause my whole body to feel heavy, weak and tired. At the end of an 8 hour shift, I feel like I'm gonna pass out. Almost feels like I ran a mile but I didn't.
As for the pinky and pinky side of the arm hurting- look into cubital tunnel/ulnar compression.I have cubital tunnel in both arms and my pinky/ring finger and that side of the arm HURTS! It's numb, tingly, and if I bend my arm AT ALL it goes numb. The elbow nerve (aka funny bone) gets trapped or pinch and makes your arm numb.
Fibromyalgia can also worsen or give you stomach problems. I now have IBS. Try out the elimination diet. I did it for a week and most of my stomach problems have stopped!

For the arm pain- have an EMG done to see if you have cubital tunnel. That's the same pain I have in my arms and now it's getting better after surgery.
Either carpal or cubital tunnel. I'd say cubital most likely. Ask a doctor to give you an EMG and see if I'm correct. I play computer every day. My arms always go numb.
If it helps to know- I had febrile seizures 72 times as a kid. I've had eyesight and hearing problems. I came down with vertigo that lasted a week. I've had surgery twice for my broken elbow. I strained my neck in a fall and now all of this has lead to me having fibromyalgia which leads to fatigue, IBS, and numbness. My cubital tunnel is EXACTLY what you're feeling- pain in pink/.ring finger and that side of the hand. My whole left side of the body is currently numb.
If you've had chemo- which does bad things to the body and brain like seizures do- then maybe this is why you're feeling the way you are. But I'm still sticking to CUBITAL TUNNEL for the pain in your arm/hands. My arms hurt all the way up and down, by the way, due to Cubital Tunnel. Have a doctor give you an EMG to help figure it out if you have it.

For the hand thing- all I'm gonna say is cubital or carpal tunnel. Which my doctor said were 2 of the few reasons your arm goes numb.
You could be compressing the nerves that run from your neck into your arms. Lifting weights puts strain in that area. Try taking a few days, weeks, or months away from lifting weights and see if that helps.
Carpal tunnel. My mom's hand went completely numb on both sides and she's had surgery for it. If it doesn't go away- tell your mom you think you may need to see a doctor. Whether you're a kid or not- numbness isn't normal. I broke my elbow at 12 and it took having my dad try to move my broken elbow straight for the adults to believe me.
For those of you with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue, try taking 15mg or d-ribose supplement. Look up on Amazon reviews you will find many people with great results. There are studies showing how it helps.
