What Is The Cause Of Pain In Hands, Wrists And Neck?

My 30+ y/o niece suddenly developed very-painful hands recently, plus horribly aching wrists, and neck. Sometimes when she is driving, she can hardly control the steering wheel the pain is so pronounced. What does this sound like to you? I am so worried about her. She is trying to home-school three children, and has done a great job, b/c all three test yearly about 2 - 4 grades above public school children of the same age. She is so worried that she will have to give up the home schooling. Thank you!
