Hello,
I would suggest you to focus on the lower lumbar spine. Even though you do not have any pain in the back, the pain in your leg might be e referred pain from lower lumbar spine (neuropathic pain). So a MRI of the spine your rule out serious problems such as herniated disc or spine tumors and then if the MRI is normal you can proceed with physical therapy and medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Edvin Selmani
