If it was a dangerous shock, you would have been flung accross the room.
You can buy little electric shock games from Argos that give you a buzzy zap when you put your finger in.

You are fine

Just to put your mind at rest, I'm a degree qualified electrical / electronic engineer, and you have nothing to worry about.

If you are going to be hurt or killed by a shock, it will be straight away when it happens, not later on, so if you managed to type about it, you are fine !

I dont reccomend it, but I have electrocuted myself quite a few times, and apart from some swearing, have never had had any injuries
