I stepped on a razor blade about a month ago and then about a week to 2 weeks later I stepped on a nail that was off of the base boards in my house. I am now having these strange symptoms and I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not but, I have pain in my legs and arms that can be so unbearable and now I am having jaw pain my teeth even hurt this is so painful I can't hardly talk, my head and neck are killing me. I just don't want to go in and then dr. just say oh nothing is wrong should I be worried about these symptoms. this long after the injury could I just now be getting Lockjaw. I got my tetanus about a week after the last injury. But I had a real bad reaction from that my arm swelled up, red, warm, painful to touch for about a week to a week and a half

Your reaction to the Tetanus shot was pretty normal. No you would not have lockjaw if you got the tetanus shot.
