A member asked:
Feel feverish, whole back especially feels hot and kind of stiff. neck is stiff and painful as well. is it just inflammation--or something worse?

Check your temp: If you have a temperature greater than 100F with a stiff neck, it's best if you go to the ER to make sure you don't have meningitis. Viral meningitis is more common in the spring and isn't as dangerous as bacterial meningitis. With any suspicious symptoms, it's better to be safe than sorry.
