I tried to explain that the pain starts only from my lower back on the right side ,comes around and settles in my quad and the pain shoots down my right leg only as far as my knee,no pain in foot or lower leg, waiting on getting a MRI,my doc says the pain is definitely coming from the nerves

It kind of sounds like sciatica pain.
"Sciatica refers to pain that travels along the path of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve travels from the buttocks and down each leg. Sciatica most often happens when a herniated disk or an overgrowth of bone puts pressure on the lumbar spine nerve roots. This happens "upstream" from the sciatic nerve."
