It sounds as if you might have a nerve problem in your left arm. The nerve that runs through the back of your elbow and up the side of your arm controls the pinky finger and the inside of the ring finger. Have you hurt your elbow or hit it on something that could be causing swelling in the elbow? If it isn't better in a few days, I would ask your doc!

You would need to see a Dr. to know what it is for sure. In people that have fibromyalgia, that happens, but you are only 14 so that's likely not it. Have you injured yourself? It could be a pinched nerve.It could be a form of carpel tunnel.Have you been playing too many video games?Sometimes swelling will press on the nerve and cause this. Poor circulation.

Between the broken left elbow (where the nerve is) and the blood thinners, it is not alarming you have that numbness. I had a puncture wound through my forearm which damaged the nerve and now can't feel either of those fingers..period. The cold is probably from the blood thinners, too.

Before you go looking up syndromes on the internet, you really should see your doctor. It might be something simple, like a pinched nerve.

It could be a blood circulation problem. I get it when backpacking, the weight on my shoulders makes me hunch up and having stiff arms makes for slower circulation of blood. Try a few exercises to loosen your arms up.

the nerve that runs along the elbow or funny bone could be pinched. I get it quite often from it

pinched nerve, possibly. Have your mom call your Dr to have it checked and he/she can give you wrist exercises to do to help it.
