Can Legs Sunburn With Dark Spots, Swelling And Bone Pain Be Treated?

Hi there, yesterday I went to the beach, only front of legs got sunburnt. They are very red with darker red dots, also very swollen. The worst is when I go to walk on them, the bones feel like they are going to explode. After a few minutes of this pain whilst walking, the pain does subside abit, however my legs are still very stiff. What is happening and how can I fix the problem?
