Sometimes doctors focus narrowly and not holistically. Did your MRIs include your hips on both sides? Did you get reports and review the imaging yourself? Have you gotten second and third opinions? If you see a spine specialist/neurosurgeon, they will not refer you to a hip/knee specialist to look beyond your spine. They also won’t necessarily refer you to a neurologist. Have you also had a neurologist do EMGs/nerve conduction studies? Spine specialists/neurosurgeons do not work in gluteal/tendon repair in your hips/buttocks/hamstrings as far as I understand. You may need to see different specialists to look at you with fresh eyes/ears.
