Brief Answer:
Spine MRI has to be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Your symptoms are quite characteristic for spine nerve compression due to disc herniation. X-rays are quite old and sketchy tests. They can give an information about bones. But no x-ray can tell anything about spinal cord.
That is why, I suggest you to consult orthopedist and force him to do spine MRI.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
