Leg pain: Suggest not going to the ER as have had a good work up and not likely to do more. Suggest going to a gym to begin some strengthening and see if it improves.

Seek medical care: Spinal cord/nerve impingement can cause these kinds of symptoms. If this is indeed the case, irreversible damage could result. A trip to the emergency room or your primary doctor is necessary.

Given Your Pain: I would suggest seeing a pain/spine specialist to evaluate you further to evaluate what level and what can be done to treat you. There are interventional treatments besides medications and surgeries that might reduce or eliminate the pain altogether.
