Folks, can anyone of a medical / sports physio persuasion give me some advice on how to fix a trapped / buggered ulnar nerve, please?

The long and short of it is about 2 weeks ago I woke up with pins and needles in my left pinky and ring fingers. I didn't think anything of it, but it's still bloody there. The fingers are permanently pins and needles / dead feeling and whenever I flex my bicep, I get a shot of pins and needles from my elbow frown

Any advice would be most appreciated as it's driving me mad!

I have no neck pain, dizziness etc and have full motor control of the hand and both affected fingers. The only symptom outside of the P&N is a "heavy" feeling from just below my elbow to half way down my forearm. If I touch my Funny bone, I get a fire shot of pins and needles

I get no shooting pains at all if I do that - all feels completely and utterly normal. However, the depression by my elbow bone is extremely tender and the slightest tap there sends quite painful pins and needles shooting down my arm
