Had a stiff and painful neck for a week. slight headache and no fever. could this be menegitis ?

Unlikely: If you had meningitis you would have become sicker through the week. Also you have no fever which is more typical. As I am unable to assess you see your doctor to help sort out the cause of your symptoms.
