My funny bone in elbow was banged lightly & it sent a huge sharp pain to my hand and fingers. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ulnar nerve: The pain or shock like symptoms radiating to the hand are not due to a bone. The ulnar nerve passes in a groove on the medial aspect of the elbow formed by the ulna bone and the numerous. It is relatively close to the surface and when something strikes it the Pain locally travels down the arm to the ulnar side of the hand like a sudden shock.
