I know it's Mothers Day y'all but I need help! Wednesday I went to the island and dumb me being insanely white burned like a lobster. My feet and legs swelled up but I didn't think much of it. 4 days later, sunburn is gone, still swollen and I can't walk. It's the most painful thing ever to put my foot on the floor and even walk. I don't understand what's going on?? Thank you for any help and Happy Mothers Day!!
@mommyem_, you can try getting an appointment earlier to get checked out. I had pre e w my 1st pregnancy and even tho my feet were really swollen it never hurt to the point that you are describing. I really think it had more to do w the sunburn! Stress how bad you’re feeling to get an appointment w the Dr & if not the ER is always there.
Make an appointment and go in ASAP. Getting burned like that could cause a ton of problems. Good luck and happy Mother’s Day.
@leslyev92 May 29, so about 2 weeks away. I'm afraid of it being Pre-e but I'm not sure if it's to early for it. Plus my sister got just as burned as me and is completely fine. I'm started to get a bit worried since the sweeping nor pain have subsided.
@mommyem_, oh wow. When’s the next Drs appointment? Could mention that, swelling is usually a normal part of pregnancy but it shouldn’t be THAT painful. Maybe the sunburn is visibly gone but somewhat still there causing you pain 😒
@leslyev92 I have iced them and keep them elevated all day, as soon as I put them down, the pain comes back so severe. I'm having to walk with a cane :(
Call L&D. They can advise you.
