I am 44 yrs. old and I periodically get a cluster of painful bumps on the side of my neck. Along with these bumps, I experience a malaise, pain in my shoulders and neck and lower back ( the pain goes more than "skin deep) and a slight fever. This syndrome lasts a few days. I noticed that as the bumps begin to disappear, the malaise, stiff neck and fever subside.
Could this be viral? Could this be a form of herpes? What the heck is it??
Yes. I intend to see a Dr., but I just want to know that I am not crazy because I think these bumps are associated with other physical symptoms.
