I had a cut on my hand 7 months ago. Which had to be stitched. I was given painkiller and tt injection. After seven months on 5th late night, I got a cut by a metallic hanger. I thought it to be a minor cut and washed it with Dettol and applied turmeric powder's paste and some antibacterial cream. It pains a lot when I try to walk. When the leg is in rest position it is ok but the pain occurs when I keep my leg down or try to walk. I forcefully try to walk and it pains a lot. What is the problem and what shall I do? Is seven months ago applied injection of tt useful? Do I still need to inject with tt injection, it's been more than 24 hrs? It's exactly 32 hrs since I got the cut.

I hope 7 months ago tt inj was not primary inoculation. Then you don't need tt inj. On 2nd injury. If weight bearing is painful, rule out any foreign body in the wound. Consult a surgeon.
