Had been feeling better each day, but tonight not so good. Have EXTREMELY sore stiff neck that wasn t helped by lortab, headache and muscle aches. Suspected origin site of sepsis was small surgical incision on my face (removal of growth that was a cyst), and it is inflamed and crusty. Should I be concerned tonight?
