Yes, the radiculopathic symptoms are not always correlating with the spine findings on MRI.

I seriously doubt that the described issues are the responsible pain generators, and would recommend seeing a physiatrist for further evaluation. Possible sacroiliac dysfunction or hip joint issues could be considered. Have found physical therapy to be of great value, especially with McKenzie Back Exercises, and/ or swimming.
