Somewhere in this from-a-while-ago thread I wrote about the possibility that a synovial cyst could be causing your issue. Synovial cysts will not show up on an x-ray and can cause excruciating pain, compressing nerves to the point where even walking can become agonizing.
I agree with the MRI. It will very likely show you what is causing the pain. A chiropractor will tell you to keep coming back again and again and keep charging you money. And, if you happen to get better, he will claim that he cured you, even though what really cured you was your own body and time, not the chiropractor. Just my opinion.
