I just burned my thumb, 2 hours ago, and my elbow really hurts!?

Question

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-the sparks were hitting my thumb)) I burned my thumb (right hand-the side that goes in the direction of my body) I try to striaten 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?

Answer 1

Yep. Nerves go all the way from your fingers up through your whole arm. You probably did something funny to the nerve. I'd see a doctor if it's not better in a couple of days.

Answer 2

I'm no doctor, but based on my limited knowlege of medicine:

There may be an injury to a nerve that connects to the rest of your arm...but I'm guessing that the pain in your elbow isn't from the burn, but perhaps you pulled your hand away quickly from the firework and basically twisted your arm. You probably pinched a nerve. That can hurt pretty badly. Is it swollen or red? Does it hurt to just touch your elbow? If not, I would just give it a little time. If it hurts to touch or is swelling, I might see the doctor. Maybe take an 600mg (3 tablets) ibuprofen (aka advil or motrin) continue to rest, and then see how you feel. Good luck!

Answer 3

yes the Trimorphic Nerve runs from your fingers to your arm pit. Try rubbing Robitussin on your arm.

Answer 4

Next time (god forbid) you burn a finger, do not placed it in bloodless water. Press it in opposition to your different palm and preserve it there. I learn that considering the fact that that is helping lessen the warmness to the identical temperature as your frame is, there's much less danger for it to blister.

Answer 5

Try ice.
