Low Back Pain Going into Hip and Leg

I'm just curious, have any of these doctors shown you the x-rays or any other imaging they have ordered?
There are a minimum or 25 million people misdiagnosed in the USA every year because some x-ray tech read the image wrong, was talking to their girl friend or hung over and just glanced at the image and if there was something wrong if it didn't jump out and bite them in the butt they dont see anything.
there are millions of people that die every year due to improperly read imaging tests. there are also cases of them actually getting images mixed up.
make your doctor show the images and explain them, if they won't find another doctor.
I hope you can find a solution that works.
God Bless

Speaking as a retired RN please know that XRay techs are NOT the formal readers and interpreters of any type of radiology procedure.
Sure, they may have an idea but a Board Certified Radiology MD is who interprets and writes up the report! The report should then go to the doctor who referred you for the test/s.
