Need exam: Most times a diagnosis is made by the doctor doing a complte history and physical exam with studies usually used to confirm the diagnosis 90% of the time. In many instances the MRI can be negative in cases of back pain.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated.
