I had just went to my doctor on Monday because I had a scheduled appointment, told him I was hurting since last Thursday and I was taking Tylenols for my pain. I told him my back and side was hurting and I couldn’t sleep for those nights. He. Over looked me and my pain. I told the nurse before the doctor came in the room, I told the doctor how I was feeling, as he sent out I asked about my pain, go they will take care of me. When I went to pick up my medicine, no medicine for my pain. This was Monday. I went to Walmart and got pain pads for my side and back. I couldn’t take the pain and to Urgent Care. Wow! The nurse was nice and very knowledgeable. Then the doctor came in and gave me a  urine test. Told me two things gave me a prescription and come back in three days if I am still in pain.  Thank the Lord.

Walked in this morning due to the runs . I caught a nasty bug from my co workers. Had no appointment but the staff was quick to service me and the building was as clean as ever. Great ladies with great attitudes. I’m feeling much better.

We moved from another state to Alabama (which is scary when you don't know anyone or where to be seen) I made a new paitent appointment in April at a primary care Dr. and could not be seen until mid July. This was the only place that everyone from staff to the Dr. actually listened to what was going on, talked to me like a normal person, were super nice about everything and were quick about getting me in and out with the prescriptions needed. Thank y'all so much for everything you did for me both times I went!!!

About Tetanus Shots

A tetanus shot is used to prevent tetanus, also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that can lead to painful muscle spasms, and oftentimes, death. Adults in the US have to be vaccinated against tetanus because there's currently no cure for it and roughly 10 to 20 percent of victims die from tetanus. Symptoms of tetanus come from a toxin produced by tetanus bacteria and usually begin appearing about a week after the infection occurs. The most common symptom is muscle stiffness that begins in the jaw and spreads to the neck, arms, legs, or abdomen, but other symptoms include trouble swallowing, headache, fever and sweating, irritability and restlessness, high blood pressure, palpitations, and muscle spasms in the face.

It's important to get treated for tetanus as soon as you know you're infected because if it's not treated quickly enough, you can die from suffocation. Tetanus shots are given in the shoulder muscle. If you've never had a tetanus shot before, you might be given a three-dose primary series. You'll get the first dose as a three-in-one combination called Tdap that prevents tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), and diphtheria (Td). The other two doses will usually be a dual vaccine and you'll receive them over a 7 to 12 month period. You should receive a tetanus vaccine between 2 months and 6 years old, as well as a teenager and an adult. Pregnant women might need a tetanus shot during the third trimester of pregnancy.
