Hi!

I had exactly the same symptoms about two years ago, this happened after using a computer game joystick continuously for about 3 hours one night, sitting with my elbow elevated in a funny position.

The next day my shoulder was in pain, and my pinky and ring finger in my right hand was numb with a prickly needles and pins numbness feeling.
