Yes: Acutually that can occur. Try use of a NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication) to reduce your pain.

Pain to area.: It can cause pain to a significant area beyond the sting location. Remove stinger-scrape along edge of skin with a credit card. Clean area with soap & warm water. Apply ice (bag of frozen peas) in 10 min. Increments; alternating 10 on & 10 off. You can take meds like tylenol, (acetaminophen) Aspirin or Motrin for pain or Benadryl for swelling. Make a paste of 2 parts baking soda & 1 part water & apply.
