Sorry to hear about your finger! Sounds painful just thinking about it :-(
The tetanus vaccine is normally given as an adult if there was something rusty or dirty going into your body, especially if it is a deep puncture wound. It is a VERY painful injection and can cause some of the symptoms you've mentioned. If your symptoms don't go away within a week of the injection date, I would recommend seeing your doctor.
You are right about Tetanus, it is actually not that common to get the vaccine anymore if you have had a thorough cleaning of the wound. Good Luck! I hope you feel better soon.
