Anxiety or true tetanus symptoms ?
About six weeks ago a cat scratched me on the arm.The wound was a deep pucture wound.I did not think about getting a tetanus injection until about 10 days later.Since then I have been getting muscle spasms and cramps but not too severe or too painful.Just uncomfortable especially when trying to relax or sleep.The wound still has not cleared but remains a raised bump.Am I suffering from tetanus symptoms or am I letting my mind produce similar symptoms of anxiety?What should I do or take to relieve the symptoms and the worries.minibramble on 2005-08-21
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Is the raised area red? Is it hot or cold? Is it painful? Please describe. There are remedies. Ledum is especially good for puncture wounds but need more info. I believe Hypericum is the main remedy for tetanus but someone else needs to confirm as I am not a professional.
So did you get the tetanus shot?

Area is raised and reddened but not hot or cold.It is not painful.But not healed either after nearly 6 weeks.
Tetanus shot got after 10 days from initial wound.

So what do you want cured -- the raised bump to go away or the alleviation of the muscle cramps? You say it's not healed and yet you describe nothing except a reddened area. That's not enough information.
Here's how homeopathy works: you describe how things feel and a remedy is prescribed based on that. Medical terms and diagnoses don't mean anything. You need to give information about how you feel and be as descriptive as possible. Include such things as the type of pain (shooting, cramping, burning, etc.) and what makes it better or worse (for example better for hot applications, worse for movement, that sort of thing). What time of day it comes on or what causes symptoms... All these things help find the right remedy.
Of course it may be that you just need a remedy for the anxiety about developing tetanus and not the physical symptoms at all. Arsenicum Album is great for "anxiety about ones' health."
