MRI scan. Best option? Do I need 2 seperate ones for 2 (seemingly) seperate issues

Ok. Here's the short of it. For the past 2 years I have been suffering from constant all over body twitching. The doctors I have seen haven't got a clue - they just did several full blood counts - which didn't show up anything that could conceivably be causing this.

I'm now way past the stage where I want to try and get some kind of diagnosis for this.

Would an MRI scan be the best option?

I also have another issue that started about a month ago - which is lower back and butt pain - this really hurts and seems to have gotten worse over the short time I've had it.

So there they are. 2 'conditions' which may or may not be related. I take it that if I have an MRI scan (or similar) that I would have to have 2. One for the lower back/spine and perhaps another of my brain to see if anything weird is going on there?

Is that how it works or do you need just one?

    Are you suffering from some sort of stressful incident in your life? Severe stress can bring on this sort of body twitching and also the lower back/butt pain that you are describing. What happened 2/3 years ago when the twitching started?
