Yeah the first couple of days are going to be the worst cause they told me it still will be burning then. When Im on the painkillers Im on it helps a ton with the pain and I can bear to walk some, but unfortunately there is about 3 hours in between times I can take them when it wears off and gets pretty unbearable. I was told I either have to lay down with my leg elevated above my heart of I need to be walking to keep blood circulating so the leg wont swell and heal improperly. I cant use crutches at all which makes it pretty rough! When the pills wear off its about a 5 minute process of working up enough blood flow in my leg to limp somewhere in the house LOL
But yeah Im very glad its just the leg and only slightly on the thumb! It coulda been much worse. Luckily I have some hair still left where all the skin burnt off so its a good sign that it should heal well but its a deep burn right below the knee so scarring is possible. Ill spare you guys the pictures of my frankenstein leg LOL
