Hi,
The simultaneous appearance of the stiff neck with groin muscle ache can be from the systemic issue as magnesium deficiency, calcium disorders affecting mitochondrial function or else.
She requires a systemic evaluation with a neurologist to proceed further in this instance before thinking of MRI.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
