What Does Pain Behind The Neck Indicate?

Hello, My wife has pain in upper neck and lower scull, which makes it difficult and painful to keep her head upright. It started all of a sudden on Saturday evening and although she feels slightly better she is still in pain and weak. She tried excersices and took ibuprofen so far but without much affect. Please advise what to do Thank you Best regards Eugene
