I was lighting off fireworks, and while i was in a hurry to light the 2nd one ( i burned 2 small one at a time) I burned my thumb (right hand-the side that goes in the direction of my body) I try to bend my arm as it feels like a bad kink, and it doesn't help!!! i have it as if the elbow is broken, as it hurts sooo bad... I don't know whats wrong? i couldn't even open medicine bottles (childproof caps)

could there be a nerve that runs though there?

Your body has numerous nerves going from every part of your body to your brain. When you burned you thumb, you could have irritated the nerve that runs from your head to you elbow to your wrist to your digits. Once your brain recieves the message that your thumb was burned, your elbow in turn was affected responding in pain. It's biology and a very interesting subject to study

Yeah, but that seems kinda weird....it shouldn't make your elbow hurt...
