Why Do The Arm And Hand Feel Weak, Tingly And Sore After Got Electrocuted?

My left hand just touched something on the back of my cable box and I began to get electrocuted (my whole hand and arm tingling and pins sensation). I didn t feel it anywhere else in my body beyond that. It lasted about 3 seconds before I could pull it away. my hand and arm feel weak and tingly now and a bit sore. Should I be concerned that I did damage? What should I do now?
