Hello.
Sorry to hear this.
MRI is the best test to detect the exact site of nerve pain.Unfortunately X Ray has very limited use in detecting the source of pain.
Please see a neurosurgeon.
You may need a change of medications or a nerve block or surgery depending on the severity of your symptoms and MRI findings.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
