A member asked:

Why does my neck hurt when my head hurts or the other way around ? and i have a fever now for about 2 days is that connected to my fever

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscle spasm.: Headache and neck pain are both usually due to muscle spasms, mainly the thin muscle that covers the scalp (occipitalis and occipitofrontalis.) yes, possibly connected to the fever - many infections can cause headache/neck pain.
