Duuuuude....sorry to hear that. Really man, I feel your pain. 
I have found Benadryl temporarily helps to help ease the pain and itching. It might make you sleepy, but better to be sleepy than in pain.

alovera sunburn skin stuff you get at the drug store. that's the only thing i know
Frequent application of aloe vera (keep it in your fridge for that extra cool sensation).
Frequent application of any other moisturizing lotion as well.
The more often you slather on the moisturizer, the quicker it heals and the skin doesn't peel as bad.

Cover yourself with Crisco cooking oil.
Go out in the sun for another 3-4 hours.
This'll cook the nerve cells right off so you won't even feel it any more!

There are aloe vera gels that also contains benzocaine available at most drug stores that really help. That should take care of the immediate discomfort. If you are not allergic to anti-inflammatories, you might consider taking some advil or aspirin as well. If you are in serious pain and / or have blistering, you may need to call your doctor. A cold shower may also help to reduce inflammation, and help to cool the skin. Good luck.
Aloe is your best bet. Just keep slathering it on for the next couple of days.
ice. doesnt last like aloe but still feelz good.
