At the inside of the elbow, the ulnar nerve is located where the olecranon, or upper end of the ulna , meets the epicondyle, or lower end of the humerus. If the joint is struck, there is a tingling (a funny or odd sensation) and sometimes a temporary numbness in the lower arm, because the signals along the ulnar nerve are interrupted.This has little to do with the name of the upper arm bone being the humerus (humorous), which is the Latin word for "shoulder."(see related question)
