How did it start/develop for you guys?

So I’m pretty sure I have cubital tunnel syndrome. My pinky finger tingles whenever I bend it or lean on my elbow a certain a way, and while it has decreased in frequency since I started wearing a brace while sleeping, it’s still there. Tapping a certain part near my elbow also causes my pinky to tingle. Despite all of this though, a part of me honestly still can’t comprehend it because it literally came out of nowhere and without any major trigger. It started exactly 17 days ago without any sort of buildup and hasn’t gone since. I unfortunately do lean on my elbow a lot on most days, but according to what I searched it usually appears in older people and I’m still 21, and literally everyone in uni also frequently leans on their elbows and don’t have these symptoms, so idk it’s just so strange to me.

Has it also started suddenly for you guys? Was there any specific trigger? Did it also develop at a younger than average age for you? I plan on going to a doctor soon to discuss the whole thing, but I’d also like to know about other people’s development with it before doing so
