Why is it likely that your doctor might test you for meningitis if your neck is stiff and in pain (in addition to other symptoms)?
Neck stiffness occurs when the meninges swell because the meninges and the muscles of your neck are connected
Having a fever from meningitis can cause a swelling of the tissue in the neck
When your circulation decreases as a result of meningitis, your neck doesn’t get enough blood flow
The virus or bacteria will enter your neck muscles first
