Funny bone is a nerve at the back of the elbow

THERE is nothing funny about hurting your funny bone. In fact, this is not really a bone, but a nerve at the back of your elbow above your bone and near the surface of your skin. When you hit that area, you get a painful tingling feeling in your arm. This tingling travels down your arm to your fingers.
