Why Did I Have Electric Shock In Hand After Inserting A Needle?

Hi - I had blood drawn yesterday and right when the needle was inserted I felt an electric shock all the way down my arm into my hand. I have never felt anything like that before. I have read online that she may have hit a nerve. Today while exercising I felt the shock on a smaller level in my hand. My thumb also appears to be a bit swollen. SHould I be concerned? Will this go away?
