A member asked:

I had this really bad headache for a few days now the pain is moving to my neck what's wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to see doc: If you have even a low grade fever, have this evaluated, as you may possess meningitis. However, some migraine headaches can be associated with neck pain. Alternatively, neck arthritis can trigger headaches. Best to be safe and get evaluation asap.
