I forgot to mention that I too, get frequent headaches due to this issue/injury.  They are often migraines and they sometimes occur daily.  Mostly I will have a migraine about 2-3 times a week.

I would make an urgent appointment with the doctor and have an MRI of the neck.  When there is muscle weakness, it tends to be sort of an emergency issue.  It could be very likely that something is pressing against the spinal cord.  Perhaps she herniated a disc, or there are bone spurs that have formed on her spine.  

I had moderate spinal cord compression and I had the muscle weakness.  If I didn't get that taken care of, it could of gotten a lot worse.  You can become paralyzed if the spinal cord is compressed too deeply and it would be permanent.  

Please make an appointment with your family doctor right away.  It's a good idea to write everything down that is happening with your wife in regards to this issue.  Then there is nothing left out or forgotten.

Good luck and I hope your wife is treated right away with this issue.
