Serious Pain and Agony

[confused456]

Good day to all. As some of you know, I started a new job recently. I work at the local Green House. I am now working on the actual "farm" part where all the Green Houses are and so I am pulling loads of flats, baskets, etc. from the houses and loading them onto carts and then onto semi's to be transfered to customers or to the store. Anyway, I am in the sun the entire day and yesterday it was in the 80's here and the sun was extremely hot at the farm. I got there at 9a.m. and did not leave until 7p.m. and I was wearing a spaghetti strap tank top and I got sooooooooooooooooooo sun burned and I think it is going to blister. My back and my shoulders are the absolute worse. I could not sleep. I can hardly move because of the pain and I WANT A PILL!!!!!! I can not even begin to describe the massive amount of pain I am in. It hurts just to put on a bra or a shirt and have it rub the burn. I am totally at a loss as of what to do. Last night I put aloe all over it from my aloe plant. I can't take this and I may have to take a pill. Sorry everyone.

Sounds to me like you should keep some Solarcane around in case this happens again. Its a numbing spray or lotion that uses either lidocaine or benzocaine (don't remember which) to numb the area just like the dentist does.......it works well

I did NOT take any!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worried, yes he has them, NOT me!!
Nauty, I did the cold as I could cloth and OMG.....it helped sooooo much!! I did try vinegar and also tea, and even though they may have given some relief, it wasn't until I really did draw the heat out with the cold cloth before I actually was comfy enough to sleep. I don't think anyone's idea or remedy is wrong, I think everyone should use what works for them, but I WAS in MAJOR pain and was VERY scared that I had sun poisoning and was going to blister, but thankfully, it has not happened!! YEAH!! I got my sunblock for work...LOL....and bought some 100% aloe after sun lotion as well!!

THANK YOU ALL!! BIG HUGS AND LOVE YA LOTS!!

afterthought....confused...do u still keep pills in the house? or does ur husband take them...i cant remember....just thought about this as it would be hard to call ur doctor and ask for narcs for a sunburn...i would not think at this point, u stilll have them laying around...if ur hubby does u can not really always help that... if u r keeping some for a rainy/sunny day...this is a prime example of why I can not keep them...too tempting when my back is cramping and swelling...i would reach for one...if they were here

I am glad that i never thought of taking a pill and i am burned slap up from being on the beach for 8 hours yesterday.....but i was not working just beaching it...blonde and fair but had a great time...guess i am farther along in my recovery than i thought as taking narcs for my sunburn had not occurred to me until reading ur post....i do hope that you make it thru this painful episode without using... i really think u have come too far to medicate with narcs for a sunburn...reach deep down and find ur strength...u have it...u r stronger than that
