I had to get a tetanus shot about 36 hours ago due to a bad cut on my finger. My arm was barely sore yesterday but today it's quite sore with the achiness going down my arm from the injection site all teh way down to my fingers. Is this normal?

I had a tetanus shot like 7 weeks ago and my arm has been sore for about a week. I don't think that is normal.

Tetanus shots can make your arm sore for a couple of days. It's normal.

It's quite normal, as the tetanus vaccine can irritate the surrounding muscles quite a bit. Another possibility is that the doctor or nurse giving you the jab could've hit a nerve, which isn't an uncommon occurence when injecting into the arm.
Try and apply a cold pack on the site of injection to help ease the soreness. This should pass in another couple of days. If it still persists, go back to the clinic where you received the injection, and seek medical attention.
Take care.
