Numbing of left hand's pinky and side of left hand (from palm portion to pinky)

[RayKnight]

Anyone ever encountered this? Is this a sign of carpal tunnel syndrome?

It's not carpal tunnel.
You prolly damage the nerves in your pinky. (You feel a tingling sensation right?)
Give it a rest and you will be fine.

Carpal tunnel affects your thumb, index and half of your middle finger simultaneously when you put pressure on the carpal tunnel.
