Don't count on a surgeon! Get a physiatrist or a sports medicine doctor --try various specialists till someone finds whatever is wrong. It could be bone in the spine, joint, or some kind of muscle or nerve issue. Keep trying docs till you can get an answer and, yes, insist they do an MRI. Don't let them shove you aside. Doctors don't want to take blame any more than any other person. So, you should get a new doctor who isn't worried about that and can use an open mind. Keep fighting for yourself and good luck.
