A member asked:
Stiff and painful neck for 4 days almost 5 now . if this was menegitis would i have already had a fever by now? my temp is normal

Meningitis : It is more likely muscular in origin. Anti-inflammatory medications, neck stretching exercises, most warm heat followed by ice and massage can help. Meningitis would be associated with severe headaches, light sensitivity, fever, chills, and nausea.
