Hello,
It looks from your details that you may be suffering from neurological symptoms. Although there are a various reasons for these symptoms and one of the major reason is compression of nerves in back. Your doctor has prescribed you these X-rays to rule out any problem in your spine and hip. If there is severe compression by extra bone formation in X-ray then they may ask for a MRI. In that surgery may be one of the treatment method.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
