Not meningitis: You would be much sicker or dead by now if you had meningitis. Your symptoms sound more consistent with muscular spasms/neck stiffness. Outside possibilities of sinus problems. Do some warm compresses to neck, massage to painful areas. Use neti pot to clean out sinuses with daily saline flushes. If not getting better after use of above, then see doc for further evaluation.
