I Got Stung By A Jelly Fish

Yesterday I decided it would be a great day to go swimming, weather was great!
Got the the beach, got into the water (it was amazing, real warm). Had been swimming for about 15 - 20mins when I just felt this unbelievable pain shoot up my arm . I looked down and saw a blue bottle! I freak out so bad! My arm swelled up in a funny pattern. Lucky I didnt have any of its tentacles still on my arm.
I didnt know what to do so we (partner and I) jumped in the car drove half way out of town looking for a docs or something, being a sunday nothing was open So back into town we went. I ran up the the surf club and the looked after me, pouring freezing cold water over my arm then putting ice on it. The pain didnt go away for about 20mins, it was horrible!
Has anyone ever been stung by a jelly before?
