I started with a stiff neck on sunday morning after waking up, i lasted pretty much for 3-4 days.. I still cant move my neck like i use to! Now i have a knot or lump in the back of my head thats very sore.. Its very uncomfortable to sleep at night as well.. What could this be? Do i need to go to the hospital for a MRI or What should i do? I m very worried about this...Thnx Tanya Corum
Your complaints seems to be due to Local infection with associated meningitis. Are you diabetic?  In my opinion you need to consult neurologist urgently to rule out any serious disease. Another less serious possibility may be cervical radiculopathy, but it may diagnose by examination and cervical imaging. Hope all comes out good. Wishing you good health.
