If you had an anaphlactic reaction from the sting you would have been sick within minutes of the sting. You should be ok, nothing to worry about unless it doesnt get better in a few days.
BTW, I absolutely love your car and those rims. I almost bought those for my car a few years back but went another direction. Every time I see your car I wish I would have...

agreed anaphalaxis occurs almost immediately, the swelling and pain is from the poison that the bee injected into the tissue it can take time for that to heal and it is possible that you have more pain then you think you should could be because it affected a nerve or something, the most painful part of any injury to a ankle is usually from swelling so i would reccommend tylenol or ibprofen for swelling, o and just fyi epinephrine doesnt have any direct effect on an allergic reaction it just makes it more likely your heart will keep beating and your blood pressure wont bottom out do to anaphylactic shock
