Is it normal for a tetanus shot to cause an arm to get kind of swollen and have red discoloration I got one a few days ago my arm is killing me and have a few days till I see a doctor again?

Yes, as long as it is small and local just to a small area at the injection site. If it has spread more than an inch or 2 beyond, call the doctor as you may have had a bad reaction. Many people get a mild reaction that results in swelling, discoloration, and even a "lump" that can last for weeks and this is not unusual.
