Why Am I Having Soreness In The Wrist And Hand After Being Electrocuted?

I was electrocuted at a hotel two days ago after trying to turn on a light switch. They had exposed wires that I didn t see.. Because it was dark haha. Anyways, it shocked my right hand an hurt really bad the rest of that night. Now I just have soreness in my wrist and on the side of my hand. Should I be worried? I m an artist and it s hurting to draw, will that go away or are my joints in shock still or something?
