Mystery tingling/numbing in my hands!

[RgrPark]

Ok my left started going numb 4 days ago and it's mostly numb nowdays.
I thought it was carpal tunnel syndrome but when i looked it up, carpal tunnel syndrome doesn't make your pinky go numb.
Well my pinky goes numb and i believe it's somehow connected to how i rest my elbow when i use the computer.
Even when i bend my elbow or tap the funny bone area slightly, my numbing sensation intensifies...

Is this going to cause permanent damage? I've been very gentle with my whole left arm and the numbing is still here after 4 days...

Any inputs will be appreciated.

Poor circulation, most likely. I suffer from it too. My pinkies go numb, especially in cold weather.

But like the old ATOT saying goes: SEE A DOCTOR. Don't rely on internet message board doctors.

sounds like classic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.

do you have pain, arm weakness as well as the numbness in the arm and fingers.

TOS normally effects the pinky side of your hand and CTS effects the thumb side.
