back in the mid 70's growing up in beautiful Lahaina, we all had our fair share of both centepedes & scorpions too.
One night I awoke to a terrible pain in my lower back. A burning sensation to this day seems like yesterday. In my half sleep state, I hastily jumped out of bed. I then started to brush my bed sheets off in the dark. Thus knocking the Centepede to the floor, where it proceeded to sting me again. This time my foot got nailed!!!
So I'd say yes, those are very common smyptoms of a Centepede sting. Usually the discomfort of these stings last about a week to ten days.
If you live in an area that has a lot of Centepedes, and Scorpions, it's probaby good to have at leat one feline around the house. I can't even begin to count the times our cats warned(constant meowing) us when these little pest were present. Unfortunately known of my dogs ever caught on to this skill.
