Hello doc, when I get hit near the elbow, I feel a tingling unpleasant sensation like an electric shock(sometimes very mild,Sometimes like a heavy shock). It is a fully annoying sensation. What is the reason for this? How to prevent that region from getting hit? I can sense that vein by touching. Thank eU.

Hi
The bone where you are experiencing the tingling sensation is called "funny bone".
It's one of the two bones present in your arm, called ulna. The other being radius.
The ulnar nerve passes at that region, & there is less muscular covering at that region.
So when something hits that region, the ulnar nerve gets stimulated. It gives you the tingling sensation.
It is common for everyone.
If the sensation is more or unbeatable, you have to consult a neurologist.
Try to avoid hitting the nerve frequently, as it may get it irritated & inflamed.
