Default Need some help

I have been have bad leg pain, in my left leg my IT-band aches and I get knots in my hamstring, and my foot feels weird and tingling sometimes and my right leg has the same but not as bad as my left.

I had x-rays and MRI of the lumbar in 2009 and it said:

X-ray: Minimal anterior marginal osteophyte formation at the superior endplate of L5, other wise negative.

MRI: L4-L5 anular tear with very small central protrusion causing minimal impression on the ventral thecal sac no significant central canal narrowing and no neural foraminal narrowing is seen.

L5-S1 diffuse disk bulge without central canal narrowing or neural foraminal narrowing, it does not touch the exiting S1 nerve roots.

I have been having continous low back pain, more of an annoyance unless I do something then it gets bad. When I am on me feet my legs hurt real bad and my meds are no longer working.

What gives? Anyone know why I am having so much pain? Docs do not know why my pain is so bad.
