Is Neck Pain And Shoulder Pain Along With Temperature A Cause For Concern?
My husband has had neck pain for three days that has worsened each day and now has pain in his shoulder too. After going to the doctor this morning we found out he also has a temperature. He was prescribed steroids and pain pills. I am worried they should have done blood work to check for meningitis. Should I be worried and take him to a different Dr.?

Hello, It can be a sign of meningitis. Consult a physician at the earliest and get evaluated. A spinal tap is required to confirm the diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
