It sounds like multiple problems are happening.

1) Your atlas area of your neck may be subluxated

2) Your low back may be imbricated

3) You have digestive complications due to stress, worry or other emotional upsets which then lead to chronic sinus infection.

4) Your lymphatics in you neck and arm may be clogged up.

I recommend you see a chiropractor who knows N.E.T. has some of the Thorne Research products that can help your immune function. See if someone can give you a lymph massage to help reduce the head pain. Often worries about money, love or survival prompt low back pain also. N.E.T. and Emotion Code are both very helpful to reduce those pains.

Please go to an Urgent Care or get evaluated by your physician immediatly. Stiff neck can be something more serious.
Severe stiff neck and lower back pain could caution a more serious problem and needs immediate evacuation by a physician.

With the nuchal rigidity (neck stiffness), one of the most worrisome possibilities is meningitis. An evaluation in the ER is indicated ASAP. Once the life threatening possibilities have been ruled out, the less worrisome possibilities can be systematically evaluated and treated as necessary.
You should seek medical attention and go to the ER. A possible infection that is associated with headache, neck stiffness and low back pain could raise the possibility of a serious infection like meningitis that could be fatal!
It is possible that these symptoms are present due to your illness. If antibiotics are not working, this may be viral, which may account for how you feel. If you worsen, you may need to go to the ER, for further evaluation with a spinal tap to rule out viral meningitis.

TOO MANY SYMPTOMS TO SUGGEST DIAGNOSIS.

GO BACK TO SEE YOUR MD.

Consider going to the ER or PCP ASAP. meningitis which can be deadly needs to be be ruled out with your complaints...
