My neck really hurts, but only on the left side. Should I go to a doctor, or to the emergency room, or should I hold on and wait a little bit? I can not touch my chest with my chin (I've read that it can be a serious symptom), 3 weeks ago I suffered an anaphylactic shock, and I had hives.
Has reason to be worried. The stiff neck could be a symptom of meningitis or other neurological or musculoskeletal problem. Joint pain may be related or not. The best thing to do in this situation is to ask your doctor immediately or go an assessment to the emergency room.
