Sore Neck. Taken Flu Shot. Taking Medicine For RA. What Could It Be?
I have had a sore neck for about a month and have been feeling fine otherwise. This past weekend I found myself to have no energy and stayed in bed most of the weekend. I did have a flu shot and I take meds for RA. I m 57 years old. I had to drag myself out of bed this morning and can t wait to get back into bed when i get home. I don t feel sick, what else could it be?

hello,
You must consult your Rheumatologist and get done ESR, CRP, Complete blood count.
This feverish feeling could be because of flare up of RA.
Or otherwise if the tests are recently done and are normal or if they come out to be normal then you must take antibiotics and decongestants and anti reflux medications.
fever should not stay long and any infection should not stay.
