Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The pain you are experiencing is usually soreness of the muscle where the injection of tetanus shot was given.
I suggest you to use painkillers like ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day.You should also use cool compresses for local relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
