Anyone know anything about burns?

I burned my leg on the exhaust pipe of my brothers motorcycle on saturday, on sunday it started to blister.. but it hadn't hurt since I applied burn cream after it happened. My son was crawling on me an accidently tore one of the blisters off. Skin and all, it's a little larger than a quarter where it happened and that part had the typical raw skin burning. Yesterday it still didn't iritate too much until evening, BOOM I can hardly walk! When I stand on it it feels kind of like a muscle cramp underneath and cramps almost my whole lower leg. It hurts to walk and I limp pretty bad. I almost cry with the pain and the frustetation of trying to help my two kids and get off it as soon as possible. pleeeaaase tell me it's normal at all? :/

    That doesn't sound normal to me, but I'm not sure. I have burnt myself pretty bad before on ny leg and the spot itself hurt and if I wore something over it that rubbed it but not to the point where I couldn't walk or causing pain like that. I hope you feel better maybe if it continues or gets worse you should be seen my only concern would be infection.

    That happened to my sister years ago on both legs! I remember it was hard for her to walk on. Get some Aloe Vera and rub it on the Burns. It really helps.

    Typically if a wound is causing pain like that, its infected. Is there pus? Did you cover it after it ripped open? Have you cleaned it? If yes, no, no, I'd say infection. If its an infection, it needs to be cleaned out, which will probably hurt. If its a bad infection, you may need antibiotics. You know your body best though, so judge off of that as to what you need to do.

    My hubby says u need to go to the urgent care and get a shot its not healing right. Don't put anything else on it right now now that it's not healing u can get an bad infection if haven't already.

    I got a large steam burn on my arm while cooking once, it blistered up and seemed to be healing. Then a few days later I went swimming with friends and was laying out tanning, I didn't have it covered and no joke it blistered up double the size. It didn't hurt but it was big and angry looking. I still have a scar on my forearm from the dang thing.

    I'd definitely go get it checked. You could have an infection.

    I went to the walk-in and the doctor wasn't worried about it she prescribed me some burn cream, and just told me to take ibuprofen for the pain. I went to pick up the burn cream only to find out that the doctor didn't even send it in, so I went home empty handed as the clinic was closed by then. Last night the pain got worse, it was horrible!!.. to the point of sobbing everytime I had to stand up. It's like a wicked burning hard leg cramp through my whole lower leg that doesn't go away until I lay back down. My foot and ankle even started going numb in between the cramps. I wanted sooo badly to get to the ER but I have no one to watch my kids. This morning, it's a lot better though, I can walk again, it's seeming to hurt worse at night?
