i would get check out by your dr asap. some of these symptoms are consistant w/meningitis and it can be highly contagious and deadly depending on what type (bacterial vs viral)

if it's bacterial then you need to be hospitalized and put in an isolation room. you will be given high doses of antibiotics to treat it. it's rare but you can catch it.

the viral strain is easier to treat and usually doesnt require hospitalization. your dr will give you antibiotics and make you rest at home.

symptoms for both are
-neck stiffness
-headache
-nausea/vomiting
-fatigue
-low grade fever

make an appt to see your dr or go to the nearest urgent care within 24 hours

Start with a chiropractor to make sure things are in the proper place
Ask about fibromyalgia as a possibility
Turmeric pills (it is a spice used in curry dishes) can help lessen some pain
Stay away from sugar it magnifies pain.

Muscles like ropes are made of many fibers or strands. If some of the individual fibers that work in combination to make the muscle strong are not relaxing they bulk up in the middle and are stretched thin on the ends which results in the appearance of "knots" they are the tender spots. The muscles that effect headaches can come from as far away as the lower back and include shoulders, arms, neck and head causing a cascade effect. So a massage (professional if possible) will help.
Arms frequently have knots not just in the arm (especially upper) but shoulders, back, and neck. Until you can reach around behind you one arm up and the other down and at least come close to touching your fingers there are probably more knots. To help get the ones under your shoulder blade - keep you elbow down and put your hand on the opposite shoulder while (if you dont have anyone helping) lean into the corner of a building to apply pressure to the knot.
Specific to the leg - run your hand lengthwise down the section of leg that hurts. You will find tender spots these are the knots described above. Apply pressure to this area in a similar motion just over the length of the knot - it will take many sessions of doing this once or twice per session to get the muscle to relax.
***
Specific to the head - at the base of the skull where it connects to the spine there is a ridge in an upsidedown V like shape - press in and up to the count of three, three times to help relax the muscles there. All through the hair scratch lightly the head you will find tender spots those are knots (rub the rest of the head) the idea is to go over them semi frequently until they are gone.
General - Muscles need magnisium (regulates many things) and potassium - both can be found in bananas or molasses (a swig or two)
Hydrate with any nonsugar (even the substitutes) liquids - quantity = your body weight divided by 2 times ounces daily. The head of neurology (10 years ago) at UCDavis told my husband that running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil - there will be problems.
Reference - The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies teaches about muscles and how to help them yourself.

Regardless of what your plans are for tonight or in the morning, CANCEL THEM and go to the emergency room NOW and have it checked immediately. It could be something as simple as a headache but that sounds doubtful. Every single thing that everyone answered before me is on the level and extremely possible. You could even add a brain anureism and the beginnings of a stroke into that list of possibilities. Act Now cause there is always a possibility that if you don't there may not be a later. GO NOW FRIEND !!! Then come back and tell us all about it.

OMG I just realized that you posted 4 days ago. What happened ? This is bothering me now. Please reply !

By the symptoms, you are describing, it sounds like there is a possibility you may have Meningitis. There is also a possibily, you could be suffering from Migraine Headaches. I would call your Dr.s office and explain what your symptoms are. They will probably tell you to come in right away. Hope you feel better soon!

see a neurologist. It helped me when having migraines.
Also, going to a chiropractor and having them adjust the bones in my neck helped w/ migraines, too. I know you don't have just headaches, but a neuro will hlp w/ headaches, and chiro w/ headaches and stiffness.

severe sinus infection?

neck stiffness is a symptom of the onset of meningitis, which is often fatal.

I'm not a doctor, so I bet a real doc would be better suited to tell you whats wrong.

It could be anything from pulled cervical muscles to a vertabrae out of place to something a lot more serious like meningitis. It would be of benefit to contact your doctor or ER immediately.

You need to see a doctor. It could be a nerve in your face, shingles getting ready to sprout, or something more sinister.
