You've either got the wrong location for the pressure point, or you're not doing it correctly. Pressure points are defined by the point where the artery passes over the bone, and can therefore be "squeezed off" to stop blood flow. If you're not feeling the bone, then you're pressing in the wrong direction, or in the wrong location. You should reposition your hand so that you feel the bone under the muscle, and apply the pressure again.
You are feeling the force of blood flowing through an artery, as the artery itself passes over a bony prominence, such as the wrist bone.

The carotid artery, but this is only for an unconscious adult. For all other instances use the brachial artery located on the wrist.
