All great information! I was wondering if an Epsom paste was too strong. A small amount of Epsom in warm water does help. I won't do that again! It's actually a lot better today, and my skin isn't quite so painful to the touch either. I haven't soaked in an Epsom with ice, but when It was at its peak, I couldn't go anywhere near ice. It was super painful. I should have bought the bactine spray when it was first suggested to me, I bet it would have helped. (Plus, I enjoy the smell lol) thankfully this is almost over, and I'm praying I don't have another like this! Thanks for all your help, everyone!
