Look up the word Dystonia, there are several types of dystonia. Dystonia means severe and uncontrollable muscle spasms. There are different types of Dystonia and some do effect the throat area as well as face. I suffer from Cervical Dystonia which is severe muscles spasms of the neck. Try checking this out and see if any of your symptoms match up.

Unless the knife you were using was covered in rust or horse manure, NO, you do not need a tetanus shot!
