Electrocuted when plugging a ups into the wall

Might not be the best place to ask this question but I recently got electrocuted when I was plugging a ups into the wall. It only happened for a little less than a second. Now when I twist my forearm or contract my fingers I feel a slight pain. It didn't hurt when I got electrocuted, it just felt really wrong. Should I be worried or will the pain go away after a week or so?  

Unsure what power supply to pick?

I mean, if it concerns you that much sure... go see a doctor, but you're probably fine. The shock didn't hurt but Im sure it still did some damage there if there is residual pain. I'd be more concerned about heart beat. 

 

I've zapped myself a few times in my past and I know that "uncomfortable" feeling lol. Last time was when I was working on an iMac trying to trouble shoot Power no POST. I had the screen off and reconnected it but realized I didn't attach all the sensors so I stupidly reached in behind the screen (it wasn't screwed in yet) and the back of my hand brushed the open PSU. ZAP... but lo and behold, the iMac posted.

 

Charged customer for my time and never told him what the real "fix" was lol.

 

But seriously, if you can and you are worried, better to see the doc to be sure.
