<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I ve started recently to have a numbing irritating pain in my left hand bottom and left side of my palm up through pinky. It hurts right now, I was able to pinch the area earlier with no real feeling of pain from the pinch and there was an indentation from my nails.  <response>: Hello, I dont believe that SELF TESTING in this way can give us an accurate diagnosis but if there were any type of neuropathy going on from a pinched or compressed ULNAR NERVE in your elbow or farther downstream then, a neurological examination could reveal other things that you cannot test yourself. My advice is to seek out a NEUROLOGIST and get a good solid peripheral nerve examination. Other testing both in blood and diagnostic imaging may be necessary in order to finalize a diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
