I scraped the lower back of my leg on a metal shelf.now my whole leg is throbbing, should i go to the dr. or get a tetanus shot?

Scraped leg: By all means get to the doctor asap because you have an infection in your leg which must be treated immediately. If you have not had a tetanus shot in the last ten years, get one.
