I'm sorry you are experiencing a flare - that was most likely caused by the tetanus booster.
It's difficult to weight one against the other sometimes. However contracting tetanus is usually fatal - so I encourage ppl to try to deal with the flare.
I hope by now you are feeling much better. Thanks for your input.

I too got the shot and four days after my hips hurt..feel like I got carpral tunnel in my hand my elbow us sore..and walking isn't fun right as I get up... I didn't feel like this before that shot..
You are absolutely right. I had the same experience. I changed doctors and now I am cautious regarding any medical treatment.
I went to the doctor for a follow-up exam and he insisted that I receive a tetanus shot since my last shot was more than 10 years ago. A few days later I experienced stiffness in that shoulder. Two weeks later I returned to the doctor due to the shoulder pain. He said an X-ray showed signs of arthritis (which I never experienced prior to the immunization) and ordered physical therapy. I will not return to this doctor again. I am a healthy 61 year old woman with no health issues until that tetanus shot. Doctors should at least advise patients of potential negative outcomes. I am hoping the pain gradually goes away.
I have some pain in my shoulder and nerve pain in my arm and left leg. I have been seeing several doctors. My Primary care says I need a tetanus shot it's been 11 years since I had one. I get the shot and shortly after I can't lift my left arm up past horizontal position. So I think well it will go away in a couple of days. Ya right I called the doctor and she said it will go away. On my next appointment One month later things are even worse. My arm still kills me My right ankle is swollen my hands feel swollen my wrists are swollen and numb and my shoulder are in constant pain.I tell the doc she says I need tests so they come back positive for parvovirus B-19. I never had this before and don't know were it came from. But It all started with that tetanus shot.
