Pins and needles in my pinky finger and adjacent part of my hand?

It use to come and go but now its constent. My finger and part of my hand feel like they are "asleep" with almost like a numbness. They are not numb though if i poke my finger i do feel it just as much as any other finger. Anyone know what causes this or what can help relieve it?

Something is pinching your ulnar nerve. May be in the wrist, may be in the elbow, maybe in the shoulder. Go see a doctor.

Could be nerve damage. You might want to speak to your doctor about it. One of my roommates was experiencing numbness in one of his feet and it began to spread...turns out he's got disk damage in his back.
