My left arm is killing me!! Help me!!?!
Question: I got sunburnt yesterday on the top of my left arm and on my back. Now when i woke up this morning, the muscles in my left arm are absolutley aching!! All down it, not just where it was sunburnt - this wouldnt have anything to do with the sunburn, would it? I thought i must have slept on it funny, but its been like 4 hours since i got up and it still really hurts. Everytime i have to use a muscle in my arm, it aches (so even typing and stuff like that hurts it!!) Help!!

Your arm is probably aching because you have a burn over a large area of your body. Use vinager on a cotton ball (at bedtime works best so nobody smells you) and rub all over the area that is burned. This helps pull the heat out of it. Using something like an anti-inflammatory will help with the muscle aching. Good luck. If it doesn't go away within a day or two you might want to go to the doctor.
It's the burn. Take some aspirin and put some medicine on the sunburn (I actually find used teabags work the best) and, if it still hurts tomorrow, see a doctor. You could have 2nd degree burns.
