Is Migraine A Symptom Of A Neurological Problem?
Migraine with neurologic deficits is a possibility.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for posting your query here at HCM,
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
In my opinion, a possible cause of your concerns is a variant of migraine headaches that is manifested with neurologic deficits too.
It is partially inherited, but there is no clear relationship with your mother's and grandmother's condition.
It is obvious that this health issue caused psychological symptoms too.
I suggest you to get a second opinion by a Neurologist and a Psychologist evaluation as well, in order to have a better understanding and evaluation of your condition.
Hope this helps. I remain at your disposal for further questions and clarifications.
Take care.

With all this info please clarify your recomendation and I will go from there. Thank you.
Spinal cord MRI is valuable.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.
A x-rays imaging study is not the chosen one to evaluate/exclude pinched nerve(s), and if the leg is involved too, a pinched nerve in your back can explain it.
There is need for an exclusion of organic causes of your symptoms with diagnostic tools and neurologic examination, and if the appropriate diagnostic procedures are exhausted, after that could be concluded that your symptoms are related to psychological issues.
A spinal cord MRI and an nerve conduction study (EMG) of your left extremities could give sufficient information about any nerve damage as a cause of your symptoms.
Unfortunately migraine is a clinical diagnosis mostly, about this possibility I recommend you to have a second opinion by a Neurologist.
Hope this helps. Best regards.
