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

If u had ur tetanus shot in the last 10 years, your fine…and your symptoms describe what would happen if you hit your head on a nail after bending over all day

I do not have it, however I am noticing some issues you may have or not have. you can answer this in additonal details.

I have shrunk a few inches, number two has varried in size shape and had small black dots in it sometimes and usually breaks really easiely. Butt pinches or cramps. Pain everywhere, more gas at night and thats about it. however I do have tmjd and muscle tightness everywhere as well so it could be both..

you have none till your later stages such as DUke stage 4 which mean it has made it to the lymph nodes and has spread to other organs sometimes symptoms start in Duke stage 3. The only way to know if you have colon cancer and to catch it early is getting a colonoscopy

Well, as the above answerer said, colon cancer doesn't show any symptoms until it's quite advanced. Hence, by the time I was diagnosed, I was a stage IIIC.

But the symptoms I experienced were:
– rectal bleeding (blood literally dripped from my behind)
– painful stomach cramps
– a feeling of not having emptied my bowels fully, kinda like feeling constipated
– thin stools
– fatigue

What made me see a doctor was the cramps and bleeding!
