My sunburn is very bad

Hi everyone. I went to the beach sunday and didnt think the sun felt that bad so i didnt wear sunblock. Later on that evening i had sun poisoning because i had the nausea, chills, vomiting etc. the next day my legs and arms were so bad, they were very swollen and i later found out they are 2nd degree burns. When i stand still the pain is excruitating, like my nerves and muscles are getting squeezed to death which is due to all the blood flow rushing to my extremities but when i elevate my feet they feel better. Anyway 3 days past and it felt it was getting worse i could barely walk so i went to the er. They prescribed me prednisone to help with the swelling so its now day 2 that ive been on it. Im suprised they didnt give me silvadine cream because i am blistering a little bit nor did they give me pain meds which blew my mind. Its now day 4 since the beach trip and i have definitely learned my lesson. I am almost finished with nursing school so i shoulda knew better to put sunblock on. I just wondering how i can speed this healing process up. It hurts very much to walk and i just want to get better. Any tips from anyone for what i can do? Im in alot of pain and i cant work because im on my feet all day so it would hinder the healing process. Thanks
