I had a tetanus jab and a course of antibiotics, 500mg 3 times a day. Which finished 17th September.

I'm still experiencing wrist and hand pain, feeling fatigued also having muscular aches and pains in feet, knees and ankles.

I have ordered a medichecks blood test and wonder should there be a gap after having shock, tetanus and antibiotics?

No need for a gap. They now say you only need 3 tetanus jabs to be covered for life. Dont dismiss how long it takes for your body to recover from a bad shock, and you may like to look at probiotics for your gut as most antibiotics knock the natural bugs for six.
