Accepted Answer

MRIs are not magic: You need to see a talented specialist in the orthopedic spine issues to evaluate your problem. Just having an MRI does not necessarily mean that's nothing is wrong. If all tests are negative and the spine specialist does not feel your problem is back related then you would probably want to see a regular ortho for the leg. The MRI is just one tool for a orthopedic specialist to use, and it's not  a substitute for a good clinical examination and history.
