Why does hitting your funny bone feel so horrible? - Cella Wright

this is the kind of topic you always wanted to know but never put enough efforts to search on internet but one day it pops up in your recommendations and you click it.

Same. I was only listening to the video after a point. And the way I immediately straightened my arms after 3:19 😰

Fainting after bashing my funny bone on a door handle is one of the weirdest experiences I've had. I woke up on the floor with a bump on my head and completely forgot what had happened for a while. It was such a shock!

Have you seen the Polkamania! music video? The same animation was used for the "Hello" segment.

Whoever this animator is, they've been with TedED for as long as I can remember. It's like seeing an old friend whenever I see this familiar style. Still wish TedED would make more Demon of Reason series. We need a lot of them and force the grifting politicians to watch them.

[@ShahabazBagwan]

glad to see that I was not the only one.

[@justalonesoul5825]

This was exactly what I needed to hear as it perfectly explains why I'm getting more and more tingling sensations in the forearms... Too much time on computer with elbows constanly bent for mouse and keyboard. On top of sitting a lot which is not healthy at all in itself. Glad this video popped in my feed. Time to get more conscious 👏

[@thatomogale9803]

When this happens to me, it tends to be the most exciting thing in an otherwise uneventful day 😅.

[@DJCompl3x1]

Same 😂

[@CoolJosh3k]

A spider bite combined with an accidental bump later led to a real issue for me a while back. No “pins and needles”, but complete numbness in my pinky and ring fingers. Thankfully with treatment I was cured, but it did take a while to fix.

[@Bensen555]

new fear unlocked. permanent ulnar nerve entrapment

[@DanielJoseMP]

I hit this very hard a few days ago, felt like an electric shock then I lost sensation of my hand for a moment. It was pretty scary when it happened. Incredible that I got this video recommended, guess they do listen to us.

[@ruvintheekshana7121]

FINALLLYYYYYY, THE ANSWER WE NEEDED

[@twistedrealitys742]

When I was 11, I broke my arm right at the elbow. I lost the feeling and movement in two fingers for years.

[@MSKim6563]

There is another point in our knees, which gives a similar excruciating feeling 🥴 hope you can have an episode on that in near future 😖 thanks a lot

[@thezood]

If we were video game bosses, the elbow would have a big blinking surface on it

[@yuldouz]

Loved this format, and it's packed with information, not too long but still quite technical. Also loved the cat ❤

[@ERIK-457]

It's so much more common on the left elbow than the right elbow for some reason, like it's more exposed on the left arm or it's differently allocated on the right arm making it much more protected on the right arm than the left arm, i've hit that nerve on my left arm a couple very counted times in my life, though i don't remember having hit it once in my entire life in my right arm

[@jeannietimberger2556]

I hit my right elbow really hard a few years back and it still hurts. As we speak my right rotator cuff has been screwed back together and I'm in a sling. Both of my elbows ache constantly. Thank you for this info it gives me way better insight of what's going on!! Ooof

[@MrsJudithWright]

Great topic, great animation, great script. Never thought I would find nerve signals so interesting.

[@LauraWalsh-w4q]

Anyone else have sympathetic shivers this whole video? 😬😖

[@j.b.8852]

It felt seriously unpleasant just to watch this. One could say it hit the spot ..

[@kurtmatteson4914]

That's usually a good thing, though...

[@0ZeldaFreak]

In German we say Musikknochen (music bone) or Musikantenknochen (musician bone) and I think it suits it better than funny bone, because it fits in 2 ways. It may make you sing (in pain) or it's like (bad) music in your arm/bone.

[@Nazuiko]

AFAIK the english name Funny Bone is just a bad pun; Humerus sounds like Humorous

[@mrsweetone512]

Guys if you do this stretching your arm straight and bending your wrist backwards helps a lot. It feels quite good almost as if you are slowly snapping it back into place. Just be careful not to pull anything and start slow.

[@bradens.3125]

my first ever fracture happened to my elbow, right next to my funny bone. it was such a shock to my nervous system that the left side of my face went numb for a minute

Seeing the cat made me wonder, nae, presume, that other mammals in general can feel the same discomfort. Imagine an elephant hitting its funny bone.

[@Rebellum1]

"Doctors recommend conscientious elbow usage" sounds just like a fancy way to phrase "doctor, my arm hurts when I do this!" "Don't do that then."

[@marianikolopoulou5017]

I kept feeling the pain during the whole video 😂

[@thymetalist]

I hit my elbow exactly in that position so hard my bones cracked. I was completely paralyzed for a few minutes while I was literally screaming with pain in my brain....Also my elbow region became extremely swollen (my skin cracked from how bad it was)... I needed a cast for my elbow but it was too puffy so they made me a semi-open cast so it doesn't grip my elbow tight. This happened over 20 years ago.. and it still sends shivers down my spine when I think of it... Also I have slight hand shaking tremor since then and elbow pain when I contract my hand muscles...

[@zenefu-waitt8228]

It was painful to watch him get hit on his funny bone countless times😭

This video may be uncomfortable but they're just telling u why it hurts and feels weird

[@toriistorii6939]

I think I got my ulnar nerve entrapped for a bit. It felt similar to carpal tunnel syndrome, and my ring finger and pinky were numb for 2-3 weeks until the inflammation went down. Don't lean on your elbows too much lol

Happened to me once and it felt like my entire arm was suddenly on fire

[@hugoCastellnaos]

The best way i found to make the feeling go away after hitting a "Funny Bone" is to move my fingers. So you can wiggle them or open and close your fist or act like you are picking up a cup. I don't know why but it makes the feeling go a way.

[@QuiranPup]

The animation of the feeling is exactly how this feels. It couldn't have been drawn in a more clear way

[@saloni357]

There isn't a single funny bone in the human body but a couple are humerus.

[@A2Moonclaw]

I realized that it's not just your funny bone that can get that feeling. Ive hit a spot on the top of my fingers and a spot on the back of my leg that made a similar feeling, although more localized and way less sever than the spot on your elbow.

[@TrystwithTableTennis]

I dont know if you have a video on this but whats the reason some body parts just go to "sleep" temporarily? Like they become like steel, you cant control them for some time... this happens especially when you hold one position for a long time

[@ViraL_FootprinT.ex.e]

I hit my funny bone two weeks ago, and my pinky and ring finger has been slightly numb ever since.

[@GayathriMeda-t1u]

I´ve experienced that while being hit just above the knee, it just overwhelms you, at first you grunt in pain, then you start laughing because it hurts so bad.

Fun fact: The funny bone is called musician's bone in German ("Musikantenknochen"). Maybe because you often hit it while playing an instrument?

[@zai.kitsune]

I smacked my funny bone against some wood at work so hard my ring and pinky fingers went numb immediately... It was a terrible few minutes but I'm glad I'm educated on it now!

Can confirm: constant bent elbows can make the fourth and fifth finger feel a bit numb. Got that from using my laptop keyboard incorrectly when learning how to play Terraria with mouse and keyboard when it first came out. THAT WAS ALMOST TEN YEARS AGO 😣

One time I hit my elbow in math class, experienced this excruciating pain, felt nauseous and then temporarily lost sight for a solid 15 minutes. We called the paramedics and after a bottle of water and laying my feet up, my sight returned. To this day I don‘t know what happened.

[@LuinTathren]

When I was 12, I badly dislocated my elbow and fractured it in two places. It damaged my ulnar nerve. I had pins and needles on my fourth and fifth finger and all the way up my arm to my elbow. It eventually went away after 1.5 years. But to this day (33 years later), my fourth and fifth finger are just a bit numb. And hitting my "funny bone" is really painful instead of merely uncomfortable.

[@_am.ber_]

Not the ulnar nerve, but one time I fell asleep in my computer chair and I woke up to my left hand being PARALYZED from the wrist down!!!!!!!! I couldn't move it no matter how much I wanted to. I went to the doctor and I had caused radial neuropathy. It took about 6 weeks to go back to normal
