what i wanna know is its been nearly 24 hours and my arms and my back are still killing me and ive got some weird rash like kinda marks on my arms!

A few years I went fishing. We camped along side the lake and after a good skin full I decided to go for a wazz. As I was looking up admiring the stars I fell flat on my face in a 6ft ditch in stinging nettles. Oh boy did they hurt even after a skinfull I had troubles getting to sleep. For me, the pain lasted for a day or so.
 
i was playing laser tag in the woods outside my house with some mates years and years ago. I was relocating to flank my opponent and i ran through a field of waist high nettles.

All was fune until i got to a slight dip in the ground, except i didn't see it because the nettles were all the same height and i fell flat on my face.

Oh the pain. Hours and hours of pain.
 
When we were kids the 'big' girls by us made one the kids strip off and they pushed him in nettles. They promised him 'something special' ;) but really they wanted to be mean.

cooking funts!

Dock leaves work on the odd sting, but they're pretty useless on that many - I ran away from my scout leader who threatened to tuck my shirt in once (this meant getting a wedgie), in the dark, in a field. Ran into a patch of stingers higher than myself and got 200 or so stings. There wasn't much I could do about it though so I just had to sit it out.

You could try hydrocortisone ointment, it's a steroid cream that makes skin heal faster, they usually put some kind of itch relief formula in with it.
 
I remember watching an interview with the guys from Dirty Sanchez and they said the worst stunt they had ever pulled was getting naked and rolling around in stinging nettles.... This is from guys that made a living using stapleguns on their knackers!
