I received a tetnus shot 6 days ago... in my thigh... the injection site is still a little sore, which I expected... however it still has a lump and it itches... is this normal?

Yup, totally normal. Tetanus is one of the most painful shots you can get. It can take as long as 2 weeks to totally be rid of symptoms particularly at the injection site.
