I have 2 abcess teeth for a few years now. could that be the reason im having headaches and pain ans stiffness in the back of my neck?

Yes: You should see a healthcare professional ASAP( Dentist or oral surgeon). While it may not be related, a dental abscess could lead to life-threatening meningitis. This condition is an inflammation of the membranes near the spinal cord and brain. If bacterial infection is left untreated, it could move to the bloodstream and spread to the spinal cord and around the brain

Very possibly: An abscess is an infection. It does not self heal. The infection then spreads through the blood stream to all of the other organs in the body. If you had an infection elsewhere would you let it go untreated? PLEASE see a Dentist yesterday rather than tomorrow.
