Ah ok, that’s just the blood supply gettimg cut off (the skin turning a bit numb to the touch as well, as of it belongs to someone else) - what we call “sleeping arms/legs” in Dutch. Restoring the blood flow causes a tingling feeling.
Unfortunately mine really is like an electrical shock by a nerve that gets squeezed in between some muscles or something, creating this huge, half-paralysing pain bolt. Like when you hit that small part at your elbow against a corner? But then into the brain.

That sounds painful 
Have you been to the doctor’s about it?

Well yeah, sorry, the prickly part is pins and needles. We say ‘my leg’s gone to sleep’ too. Or ‘I’ve got a dead leg’.
That’s your ‘funny bone’ 
I hate that *shudder*
But sounds horrible having it like you described, erk.
Aye! !

No… Imagine they’ll want to do surgery…
And it’s only happening a few times a year, strangely within a single period of a few days/weeks.
I can relate to that!
Is it? I knew the movie… #learningnewexpressionsday
Whoever came up what that name is a sadist!

I always thought "tickling the funny bone, had something to do with the diaphragm (No, that that one!) which is not a bone, so what was I thinking?

I think it’s meant to be an ironic name. Or maybe a reference to it feeling ‘funny’ as in odd.
I could look it up, but that would take away the mystery 
I only know it in the context of ‘banging my funny bone’. Oh-oh!

And that´s also not a bone.
Cross that, I guess.

I looked it up. It makes perfect sense to me now why it’s called like that.
Not that humorous after all…

So the funny bone is something you can tickle and bang and the thing that actually is used when you laugh is called diaphragm…Come on, that can´t be just my filthy mind anymore!

Could be stress? Or maybe you need to eat more 
I used to get woken up at night with paralyIng leg cramps for 2 seconds that were awful. Someone told me it was a potassium defeciency and that seemed to work.

I had that through my entire teenage years and at least halfway through my 20s maybe longer. I heard the same explaination. But then I don´t know why it just stopped years ago.

the article says: “Many times, doctors can’t find a cause for it.”
Oh noo! I’m going to die!
