Pain in low back and going to leg can be due to a prolapsed disc or facet joint pathology. Both of these are better seen on MRI. However whether or not you need an MRI can only be decided after better knowing nature of your pain.
Next Steps
visit a spine surgeon . you may consider using practo consult for the same.
