Bumped head on a nail. Tetanus? What are the symptoms?

by Symptom Advice on March 6, 2011

Yesterday I was crawling under my house and bumped my head on a loose nail. at first I didn't feel it, like it was a small prick that I just ignored.

Today, I noticed that same area has swollen a bit and feels like any ordinary bump on the head. Minor pain when pressure is against it, but otherwise it's fine.

I fear I might have gotten tetanus from the nail. I've looked at all the symptoms and only had one and that was before I went to sleep last night. my back muscle was really tight when I was laying flat. I ignored this because the entire day, I was bending forward doing home improvements on the floors and even after finishing the work, I was still bending over on my chair doing work on the desk.

All the muscle tightness went away after I woke up in the morning and only had reminent muscle sores that people usually get from tons of work. Havent had any other symptoms related and just wondering what are all the symptoms.

The nail wasn't rusty. it was a floor board nail that was kept away from the ground soil or any moister.

Amazing! Good Luck, cheers givingagift.info/204445/loose-nail
