I'm a bit worried because I cut my thumb with a knife and didn't get a tetanus shot until over 35 hours later. Now I'm feeling pain in the muscles of my arms. Could this be related to tetanus?

It's possible that the muscle pain you're feeling is due to the tetanus injection, as it can sometimes cause soreness or discomfort in the area where it's administered. However, if the pain is persistent or worsening, its best to consult your doctor to rule out other causes.

Question

I was changing a lightbulb and it shattered while I was standing underneath. Now I'm worried I might have breathed in or swallowed a tiny piece of glass. I don't feel any pain or discomfort yet, but I do have a bit of a cough. I'm pretty sure that's just from getting over a cold, though. What should I do?

Question

I'm having some pretty bad chest pain that seems to get worse whenever I eat or breathe deeply, and it's right in the middle of my chest. I recently used nitrous oxide whippits, and I'm worried it might be related. Could this be a side effect or something more serious? What should I do?
