Glad your arms better - take some arnica either by tablet (from chemists or Boots) or cream.

Don't get me wrong mistakes can happen but don't be fobbed off. and if not for yourself do it so that it cant happen to anyone else.
Good luck though. Hope your arm is much better now. sorry you had to experience that.
