Anyone else had an injury from a blood test?

Anyone else had an injury from a blood test?
I had some blood work done in the emergency ward at my local hospital a few nights ago. When the nurse put the needle in, I had a sharp tingle-ing pain in my wrist and forearm, so I said "OH, that was weird!" and I told the nurse, who said nothing. Since then, I have continued to experience the pain every time I use that arm, to lift anything or turn a doorknob. Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do, and did it go away on it's own? I'll probably mention it to my Dr., but my appt isn't until next week.
