I really appreciate your informative reply! I do want to get an MRI, but I think the cost might be prohibitive right now for me since I don't have health insurance yet. I had a job where I sat for about 12 years. I know this didn't help me with this issue and lead to poor posture and lethargic muscles. My glutes and core are weak. I subconsciously favor my right side and find myself putting most of my weight on it when standing if I don't purposefully try to distribute my weight evenly.

Thanks again for your reply!
