I was putting our pool up 3 days ago...aaaannnndddd.... Completely burnt from my sholders down 1/2 my back and both arms, I am having so much pain and this is the first time I have had any swelling ever!! I can barely bend my arms they feel like leather... And if i raise them it feels like they are ripping off... I've been using aloe & lotion & cool showers along with naproxen & ibuprofen and I am still in serious pain does anyone have any other suggestions on how to help tge swelling & pain? I'm thinking a doctor visit in my bear future but until them HELP!!!
Near* sorry spell check
Hi Tonya,
You've suffered a burn, just like from a fire. The tissues are damaged and need time to heal/recover. It is goign to feel worse before it feels better.
Drink lots of water - it'll help you stay hydrated. Use damp towels on your skin, not too cold!
See your doctor if the pain continues. Without an exam we can only guess at the severity of your burn.
Good luck.
