This could be either a spine issue or an issue with the nerves of the leg, could also be an issue with blood circulation of your legs. It will be worthwhile to get yourself examined for the same.
Next Steps
Consult an orthopaedic surgeon to get to a diagnosis and the treatment could start from there. No need to rush for the MRI.
