Pain: The pain you describe may be muscular in nature, especially if the pain is present better with rest.  A course of physical therapy is a good option however cervical spine involvement can not be ruled out and you should continue to pursue a cervical MRI scan to assure that the problem is not in your neck.   Since the pain has been present for over a year, the diagnostics should be completed.

Accepted Answer

: Whatever you do go to another doctor. Always listen to what the patient tells you. They know what is happening to their body. Because you cannot view “damage” to the nerve via MRI. There are other methods to determine nerve damage or referred pain to the leg. Nerve conduction velocity tests can help in diagnosis. The nerve can be studied from back to toes. A neurologist might be helpful
