Question Reaching a Diagnosis

Hi everyone,

I've been in and out of doctor's offices for almost a year now. Last year, during my senior year of college I began to get an unusual feeling of numbness every time I wore any clothes on my lower half. It seems lately though that my right leg is far worse off than my left. I'm really starting to get discouraged because it seems like they've tried almost every conceivable test and yet still no answers. My condition has baffled multiple doctors and specialists. I've a cervical, thoracic, and brain MRI all of which came back clear.
Recently my chiropractor discovered that I have a little bit of Lordosis and Scoliosis, although my neurologist says that doesn't really explain all of my symptoms. I've also had a spinal tap, which came back negative for everything. I have one of the best doctors in the US looking at my case and even he's stumped. I don't know what to do anymore. The only thing they haven't done is an MRI of my lumbar Spine. How can I pressure the insurance company into getting this done for me? What else should I try? I've also had every blood test imaginable for all those who were wondering and they all came back negative, but I know something is wrong. I just don't feel normal. My chiropractor also recently discovered that my Atlas was misaligned. I don't know what to do or think anymore. It's so frustrating.
