What Causes Electrical Shock Feeling In Arm?

I had blood drawn two days ago and the gal hit something that sent sharp pain on the top side of my arm diagonally toward my pinky finger. I immediately asked her to take it out, which she did. She said that she had hit a tendon. The pain still comes with different types of movement. It feels almost like an electrical shock. What can I do? And will it go away on it s own?
