Hi,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that these symptoms could be related to a nerve damage. An x-ray study is not the most appropriate test to examine the spinal column. That is why I would recommend performing a nerve conduction study coupled with a lumbar spine CT scan. You should discuss with a neurologist on the above issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards,
Dr. Aida
