@instituteofhumananatomy: Hitting your funny bone is anything but funny — and here's exactly why it feels the way it does. 😬 That shooting pain isn't coming from a bone at all. It's your ulnar nerve getting smashed as it passes through a groove on the medial side of your elbow. When compressed, it sends that signature jolt of shooting pain down the forearm and into the hand — with that unmistakable tingling sensation landing specifically in the pinky finger and half of the ring finger. The ulnar nerve is responsible for sensation in exactly those fingers, which is why the tingling is so precise every single time. Your nervous system never misses.
