Stood on a rusty nail three days ago and now am experiencing spasms in the throat, neck and back and am slightly weak my last tetanus shot was in 2010?

Panic Attack: That sounds like the symptoms of a panic or anxiety attack. The other worry would be a bacterial skin infection at the site of the puncture wound. If this spot is red, swollen or hot then getting your temperature would most likely let us know if you need immediate medical attention.
