this is NOT normal. Call your doctor. You are reacting to it.

I suggest you go to your doctor with this symptoms coz you seem to be reacting to the vaccine.A little stiffness and for some, a slight fever is sometimes a reaction but for the symptoms to be increasing rather than decreasing is not good.
Just as a precaution, do you work in a place that is a high risk for getting hepatitis?Contraction of hepatitis in the week interval between your getting the non-reactive result and getting the vaccine is also possible you know.
Was your HBsAg test just a screening test?A qualitative or a screening test may give false non-reactive results too.A quantitative test is more specific.

Call your doctor to be sure, but stiffness (I think) is a common side effect. All that feeling sick shouldn't last long, so check with your doctor.
