Dearest Elbowologists,
Thank ewe for your life long passion to sheeport Elbows and Elbow related needs.
Elbows are my all time favourite region between the upper arm and the forearm that surrounds the elbow joint. Out of all the joints that surround that immediate location, Elbows are my fave. Long live Elbows !....and.....when ewe think about it........If it were not for elbows.........we wouldn't' have them !!
("What's that Nurse ? time for meds ? 3 minutes ok ?")
Why does it not hurt when ewe pinch your elbow ? are there other parts of the body ewe can pinch and not feel pain ?
Interesting eh ?
whajafink ?
Hugs et les shmisheys !

Oh Elbow, Oh Elbow
To exist is such a cinch
Ewe feel no pain, not sent to the brain
When I grab ewe hard and pinch

I always try to enhance the actual question in case people are not interested in my diatribe, so.....I've made it larger as I genuinely would like an answer.

Hi Sheepy of Interesting elbow Questionability!
I think my elbows take first place there, They are also prone to calluses which might lessen sensitivity there.. that's as far as less feeling goes, then my other least sensitive spots include my ear lobes and my knee skin. I am assuming perhaps there are maybe less nerve endings in that area, as far as skin goes, but the elbow itself has the Ulna nerve that runs from spine through your neck and down your humerus bone which is the long bone running down from your shoulder to your elbow in your arm, your ulnar nerve rests against that bone running down to pinky and ring fingers. That nerve includes the soft spot behind the elbow that we refer to as the funny bone, which is not a bone at all, but actually a section of your ulnar nerve. So I'm thinking less nerve endings in that elbow skin itself, but elbows are very sensitive when it comes to bumping or hitting the area we call the funny bone area..., but is actually your ulnar nerve.. One of your main nerves...it rests at the back of the elbow against the humerus, it seems less protected by muscle and tissue in that spot. I may be wrong! Perhaps an elbow specialist might grace us with their explanation...and aid our inquiring minds with an answer that may delight our funny bone... OOOOH Lightbulb moment.. I bet that's where that area received its nickname because it's the soft area that is lying against the humerus bone...so perhaps why we call it the funny bone...???

Thank You Kareny Mam.
This is true, when I had a tattoo there the pain was significantly severe compared to others. Bizarre.

My guess is that the nerve endings in the elbow by continually pressing the skin against the bone either by leaning or by streching the skin through flexing are numb.
