Arm pain after blood draw?

So I went to a sports nutritionist to get tested, and he sent me to a lab to get blood taken and analyzed. So the tech was having a hard time finding a vein, she said I have deep rolling veins. Well, after a few pricks and fails later she went to get another tech who had been there longer than her. She was quite rude and stabbed a needle into my arm, but as soon as she did my arm went quite numb. I didn't have any trouble moving it or my fingers, so I thought nothing of it. I did tell the tech what had happened. So the rude one left and some more came, even the Ceo came down and oversaw their highest tech, which he was successful. It's been 3 days and if I move my arm quickly or even randomly I'll get a tiny sharp pain in my forearm that might radiate to my fingers for a sec. I'm guessing they hit a nerve?
