What Causes Shoulder And Arm Pain After Getting Stung By Wasp?

I was stung by a wasp 3 days ago on the palm of my hand. No swelling. I have had shoulder pain and shooting pain in my arm the last 2 days. The pain runs from my shoulder to my knuckles. Almost like an arthritis pain, but comes from nowhere. Is this related to the wasp sting? I didn t hurt my arm for me to have this pain. What can I take?
