Severe Pain Across Back Of Hip, Pain In Feet, Stiff Neck, Severe Headache. Got Stung By Wasp Or Bee. Remedy?

About 3pm this afternoon, I began having severe pain across the back of my hips and couldn't walk, could only shuffle. The bottoms of my feet hurt immensely and as the day progressed the pain radiated into my back rib cage, my back shoulders and radiated down the back of my upper arms. My neck is stiff, my mouth feels like cotton mouth. I have a severe headache. It is painful to sit up and lean a little forward. The pain is now in my lower abdomen.
I took 2 Tylenol earlier but it didn't touch the pain. I have been in bed since I came home at 4:15. The only thing that happened to me was being stung in both index fingers yesterday, but I could not see if it was a wasp or a bee.
I appreciate your help. Thank you.
