If you send a photo we can ID the insect that stung you.
Wasp stings do sound like your description. It is best to put baking soda paste on it then ice. It will feel better soon after that.
If you are allergic to them and swelling occurs you should quickly see a doctor.
Wasp like insect

This bug stung my finger hurt like nothing I've ever felt in my life. My finger is swollen red and hot. Hurts up to my elbow like it hit a nerve. Just happened about an hour ago but hurts like it just happened. Don't know exactly what it is but interested in finding out.

From the photo it looks like a wasp of some type. However a photo of the top or side of the insect would help narrow it any closer.

Many wasps nest in or near homes in paper or mud nests. Your wasp may have found a hole such that a nest was made inside the structure of the house. This spring they are out and about looking for prey to put in with their young. Perhaps these 2 found a way into the house rather than to the outside. Many times they wear themselves out and die in the house then.

For more information please send a photo of the side and/or top view.
Thanks
