Hi, can someone please help me out with this? I have a cut on my ankle from surfing that I am afraid may be infected with tetanus (sp?). I don't want to google it, but the cut seems to be healing and it isn't discoloured. The only real symptom I have is that I have tingling pain in my sides, which I believe is coming from my kidneys. I'm so scared, please, any advice would be appreciated. I'm in Korea and am terrified of becoming ill.

The hallmark feature of tetanus is muscle rigidity and spasms. So I think you are OK:yesyes:
