Bit By One Of Our Dogs, Took Tetanus, Antibiotics, Right Leg Hurting, Can Barely Walk. Why?

I was bit by one of our dogs (accidently) last Sunday. He has all his shots.. I began feeling weird/bad and went to ER to get it checked out. They gave me a tetanus shot and antibiotics. My right leg was hurting from top to bottom within an hour of the bite. By the time I got home from the hospital I was hurting all over.. And it got much worse by Tuesday. I could barely walk.. And it wasn't the bite.. I have ached like the worst flu I have ever had. Today is now 7 days and I'm so sore all over.. My tail bone, pelvic area and legs have cramped(muscle spasms) to the point I have cried.. I have done nothing but sleep all weak and my stomach has been upset as well.. Is this normal?

hello,
Thank you for the query.
Important thing you need to know is your tension is somewhat relieved as your dog had all its shots.If not the dog is observed for 10 days for any changes as there is chance of rabies.And you need to take anti rabies vaccination.As you are complaining of muscles spasms and somwe weakness you need to be examined by your doctor as there mite be infection at the site of dog bite as if it is too deep it may be common to get infected.Thank you.
