Saying this from my experiences with lower back issues and if it's that then you'd want a neuro-surgeon for wise counsel. I'd never, ever go to an orthopedist for a disc issue!! You might just need pt and some anti-inflammatories.
If it's bursitis you don't need an MRI to find it, unless you have excess money to get rid of. For disc issues, yes. For bursa inflammation, no.
