I would seriously go get it checked out, Cheryl! I once got pricked from this huge pointy yucca bush. It turned out it got stuck in my finger and swelled from an infection cause a piece of the pointy plant broke off inside my finger. I had to get it drained, a tetanus shot, and wear a finger brace for 2 weeks. I wasn't even gardening when it happened. I just happened to lift my hand at the wrong time passing that bush and then got pricked. I'd definitely wear gloves int he future for what happened to you though!
