According to the 2003 BNF if you get a booster now you should be ok.  Problems occur if you have boosters closer than every 10 years with risks of hypersensitivity.  But I wouldent wait too long or you may need a complete cycle of 3 shots.

Sorry for the backstreet doctor approach but speak to your local nurse for a more complete decision  :y

Last time A&E provided me with painkillers they gave me Kapake -- which is 500mg paracetamol and 30mg codeine -- they certainly did the trick !
