Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the agony of pain after trauma incident involving lower back, legs , thighs do indicate neurologic issues to significant level. The underlying nerve compression, vertebral body or intervertebral disc fracture are the main concerns for the radiating pain of this sort.
In my clinic, after thorough clinical examination, I do recommend an X-ray of the lower lumbar spine with coccygeal region for primary evaluation and depending upon the results of that, MRI may be a need of time.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
