Hey man im in kinesiology, and sounds to me like you have some nerve damage. When you herniated your disk skydiving the disks might be pushing up against your nerve roots causing some damage. But if there isnt any numbness or tingling in your pinky... then im not sure but its almost like your extensor digiti muscles are not getting enough of a nervous signal which could be due to your herniated disks in your neck,but usually that would affect more than just your pinky
I'm really no expert but ive worked in a physiotherapy clinic for a while and Ive picked up quite a bit.
definitly get that checked out, but in the mean time you should try working the muscle in your pinky (as long as there isnt any pain) and you can do that by flexing and extending your pinky try doing it like 20 reps 3-5 times a day
or if it doesnt hurt and you feel thats not good enough get one of those grip machines that measure your grip and try doing that for a 10 reps 3 times a day
(or you can try pushing down on your pinky while you push up against it, trying to extend it)
that will retrain the neuromuscular junctions in your muscle and will help the neurons in healing and reestablishing their paths.
Its the summer time so some I'm a little rusty on all my terms but I think it should be good enough :)
I hope this makes sense, and it helps a bit!
