I Was Bit By A Dog 4 1/2 Weeks Ago.

I was bit by a dog 4 1/2 weeks ago. Two of the bites went into my calf muscle. I was treated by a Dr., wounds washed out & cleaned. Tetnius (sp?) shot given. The area is healing, but I have to continue to be careful when walking, or I feel stinging/burning pain in that area. It is also really hard to the touch in that area. It is improving. I've been doing ice & putting my leg up when time allows. Any other suggestions to help with the healing process?
