Tetanus is also sometimes called 'Lockjaw'. It usually takes two to 50 days to incubate. It usually is caused by a cut that has gotten infected soil in it. Symptoms usually occur within 5 to 10 days. Tetanus is not contagious. It can be fatal but it is very rare in the US. I would suggest that you go to a doctor immediatly. If you have not had your tetanus shot they will give you one. Aside from tetanus your main concern will probably be an infection because a nail puncture is a hard wound to clean. Go to the doctor, don't wait until it's convenient, and if you don't have insurance go to the emergency room, they have to treat you. Your jaw is probably stiff because you have clenched it tight due to the pain but get it checked anyway!

If you are playing a stiff flex driver should you be playing stiff flex irons?
Stiff shafts are for people who have a swing speed of around 90+ mph, so if you are happy with how you hit your driver you could get stiff shafted irons, but you don't have to. If you currently use regular shafted irons and you hit the ball either excessively high or tend to hook or pull it, you should go to stiff. For best results go get custom fit and they will be able to tell you which shaft is best for your game.
