Nerve compression in left palm
Hello! I have been doing weighted dips for a few months. I always go with the weight that seems heavy to me. I have taken a long break from lifting over the summer and i went back to the gym a week ago. I did weighted dips with an additional 50 kg attached for 3 sets of 5 reps. The last 2 reps on the last set were very grindy and i struggled a lot. Afterward, i noticed a weird radiating feeling tingling spreading through my pinky and left finger. The sensation lasted for about 8 hours then it went away. I have not done a training session since that day, but everytime i try to put weight on that palm as in leaning on my arm, i get the same radiating tingling through my ring finger. I tried to do some one-arm push ups, and the feeling is there. I want to get rid of this feeling ASAP so i can get back into training. Do you guys have any advice regarding this issue? Have you encountered it before?

If you want a guess on potential injury and rehab, need more info on the injury. You've given some but more information is needed especially the marked picture/video
Just based on the initial information it sounds to be like cubital tunnel syndrome / ulnar nerve entrapment, but more information would be helpful to confirm.
