What Causes Pain On The Base Of The Skull And Stiff Neck?
I have beck pain at the base of my skull on left side. My neck is stiff and does not have full range of motion. It came on suddenly 6 days ago and is worsening. If I walk to quickly or twist neck I become very nauseous I ve tried ice and heat. Ibuprofen doesn t lesson the symptoms. I have been running a low grade temp. 99.5 and am very tired with nights sweats, but am 46 and female. I ve had a history of migraines currently under control and this feels different. Not sure if just tension HEadache or more. Thoughts?
