That "zing", did it feel like an electrical shock? That sounds like you knicked or irritated a nerve, if so. Forgetting to release the tie/tourniquet prior to injecting, then removing the bevel/needle too quickly as your friend yelled at you for, can cause that vein to blow and the area will will quickly swell up. This is from the pressure buildup from the tourniquet/tie, probably being too tight, then a sudden release of the pressure can cause the vein to spit or leak some of the substance back out. Even just under the skin.
Sounds like an irritated nerve, which is for the tingling pins and needles in your hand. There is a nerve there that runs from your elbow down to your hand, and if it's irritated, it can irritate that whole area, elbow down. One time I slept in it wrong and compressed it. My pinky finger and ring finger stayed asleep and tingly "pins and needles" and numbness like I missed a shot of coke in that half of my hand and to mid forearm for most of the day after waking. I could be wrong, but is it the radial nerve, or basilic. I forget, google it if you want to know exactly.
As for the pain and stinging, after likely blowing the vein up there, it's definitely going to ache and be stiff for a few days. Like I said, after the vein was likely blown, it prolly ejected or leaked some of the substance out. Usually it would be spat out of the injection hole, but not always. Sometimes it will just spill into surrounding tissue.
This all is just an educated guess on what happened though. If you are really worried about it, and your condition does not improve over the next couple days, just go on and see a doctor.
It's hard to find comfort and peace of mind and help for things like this on the internet. First we can't see you and visually examine you, and most of us are not doctors. The best we can do is give advice and suggestions, which leads to the next point. Secondly, asking for help for things like this on the internet will lead you to a lot of mixed answers and unfortunately a lot of bad advice and suggestions. It will most likely lead you thru hours and hours if searching for that answer that leaves you comfortable and happy and satisfied that you will be OK. You could easily spare those hours and hours, and go to the ER and get some real live medical help, then leave there truly satisfied that you will be OK, and know precisely what happened to you.
So I gave you my opinion on what it could have been that happened, but my advice and real suggestion is that if the condition does not improve or worsens over the next couple days. Seek medical assistance promptly.
