Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns.
This may be a symptom of compressive neuropathies such as carpal tunel or cubital chanel syndrome which is caused by bone compression on nerves. SO you should see neruolgoist and do EMG or MRI scan. Some less common causes are methabolic neuropathies such as diabetes. YOu should also take vitamin D and vitamin B12, warm your hands and avoid weight lifting.
I hope I have answered your query.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
