What Do Lymph Nodes Swollen Under The Arms And Neck Indicate?

I have had lymph nodes swollen under both my arms neck and down spine for about 2 weeks now. This past week I am having stiff neck and pressure in my neck and have been very fatigued. I am a retired nurse and I figured that I was fighting off a bacteria. But I have really felt bad the past 2 days
