How concerned should I be about my reaction to a tetanus shot?

I had a workplace incident (kitchen stuff), and as a precaution, the doctor gave me a tetanus shot last Tuesday morning. It's now Saturday morning, and the area around the injection is still swollen and warm to the touch, and damn, it hurts worse than the finger I mangled. A couple of days, sure, but this just seems to be getting worse.

This being Japan, and me being back at work, I won't have a chance to get to a doctor until after they close, and on weekends, the only thing open are emergency hospitals that are pretty much only for serious emergencies (sick children, dying people, that sort of stuff). Is this reaction something to be worried about enough to go to that level of hospital? Is there danger of this getting worse, or am I just not used to the normal effects of a tetanus shot?
