ok so been scared because two weeks i got bit by a dog it was just a small cut but im really stressed about tetanus my neck hurts to move and my legs are possibly spasming not sure if its or twitching so im scared it might be tetanus im up to date with tetanus injections but still worried any advice
hi
if you’re up to date on your tetanus then you will be fine. you’re overthinking and bringing these symptoms on yourself, the mind is very powerful. if you’re anxious about something the mind makes you believe you have these symptoms. I also suffer with health anxiety and I twitch when I’m really anxious. pls don’t worry you’re fine x
thanks tried not to google it but did so saw all awful things and freaked out which i know i shouldnt of also does anxiety make you twitch if so whats the difference between a spasm and and twitch
If the worry is driving you crazy, why not see a doctor? They can double check everything and see if you need antibiotics. I was bit by a dog and just put neosporin on it and ended up being fine but the doctor did want me to go on antibiotics if it didn’t start healing right away.
i talked to a doctor and they said it was fine but because of the neck pain ive started worrying about it
I think you’ll be okay because 2 weeks have passed since the dog bit you. Typically, tetanus signs will appear within 1 week.
When you’re anxious, your neck/shoulders tighten up automatically even if you’re not aware of it. Tight neck muscles are VERY common with anxious people.
