Question

im in alot of pain.. not just a burning pain. my body aches

i had sun poisoning yesterday very bad

now my whole body aches from terrible sunburn

i cant move without it all hurting. i cant walk or turn or anything

how long until it stops hurting? what can i do to make it feel better

Answer 1

I had the same problem about 2 months ago. it took 10 days to heal. i was so miserable. I went through 2 bottles of Refrigerated aloe. I also used the spray on aloe which was great cuz it hurt to bad to rub on anything. Once you start blistering be careful they dont turn into infection or anything. wear loose fitting clothing and hang in there, there really is nothing you can do except use aloe and maybe some Motrin and wait it out.  

Answer 2

it should start to feel better within a week.

keep putting aftersun on the burnt areas it will take away the stinging feeling.

hope you feel better soon.

Answer 3

I hope you feel better soon.. and I won't be a jerk and say try sun screen haha

When I get a sun burn I usually use aloe vera or lotion with citamin E, it might sting the first few minutes but it does make it feel better and help it heal faster. Another method, for a really bad sun burn is to cut open limes and rub them all over your body.

Your skin is dry and needs moisture. Be sure to drink lots and lots of water. Or eat watermelon, cantelopes ect. Try taking a cold bath or putting wet towels on you to soothe. I wouldn't recommend a shower, the beating of the water on you can be painful...
