Could The Tightness In Muscles Be Due To Tetanus?
i stepped on a nail two days ago. it was dark out and i dont know if it was rust or not. its a little bit swollen and its red. it went in about a quarter of an inch. i do not know when i had my Tetanus shot last but my muscles are tight and my ribs hurt, is it possible that i have tetanus.
