Brief Answer:
Ulnar nerve compressions.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The numbness and tingling sensation in the pinky finger may be caused by ulnar nerve compressions on right hand or cubital tunnel syndrome.
Trauma or repeated movement or supporting for long time on the elbow cause this irritation.
I can advise you to have rest, stop doing those repetitive movements or stop working for long hours on computer.
Use antinflamatory drugs such advil or acetaminophen for inflammation.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
