I have severe lower back pain and sharp shooting pains down the back of my upper thighs. mri and x rays show nothing. could this be a pinched nerve?

Yes: a normal mri usually means that you don't have a pinched nerve due to a disc or arthritis but you can still have a pinched nerve in other areas like your buttocks muscle, ie. periformis syndrome.
