I was recently doing yoga, and I think I pinched a nerve in my wrist. From my pinky to the beginning of my wrist tingles a lot, and it is really bothersome. Anyone else ever have this happen? How can I fix it? Aside from the obvious rest? Thanks!

REST: Rest and elimination of activity which aggravates the injury.
ICE: Apply Cold to stop pain and restrict excess Fluid to the injury.
COMPRESSION: To further inhibit swelling caused by excess Fluid to the injury.
ELEVATION: To further inhibit swelling caused by excess Fluid to the injury.
Take an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling.
If it does not resolve itself within 1-2 weeks I would go see a neurologist.
GOOD LUCK!
