Sweet story, got pics?
P.S.- Go see a doctor, or someone equally knowledgeable and equipped to assess your health situation.
...LOL jokesOn another site is instructions on what to do if stung because most doctors dont have a clue on what to do. The instructions have the antibiotics etc. for the doctor to follow. Any little pieces or fragments left behind can mess you up! These instructions tell you to print them up and give it to a doctor and are on aquatic terrors. Sorry to advertise another site but the guy needs help!
i read about people havin numbnes for many months after being stung . i have a file printed off incase i get stung that your suposed to show the docs as they wont have a clue about the venom etc involved or what to do . they would prob just treat it as any other injury where the skin is broken . so yeah would defo print the details off and take them with you .
keep us updated though as it will be interesting to see what your told / what action is taken

As far as your symtoms, you should go see your primary care and if you don't have one, go to the nearest ER- like ASAP.
