What Causes Sunburn On The Legs Causing Difficulty In Walking?
Hello, I am 52 years old. I went camping this weekend and sustain a very bad sunburn on my legs from being out on the lake. Now I am having a difficult and painful time walking. I have been treating with cold compresses and aloe vera. Should I stay off my feet until swelling goes down? Unfortunately I cannot take NSAID for inflammation.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to sunburn. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day.
I also recommend drinking liquids to prevent dehydration and use cold compresses.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
