Brief Answer:
MRI scan of the back
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Yes, your doctor is right in saying that such symptoms can be seen due to pinched nerve in the back.
You may have to get a MRI scan of the back to rule out the same. Get this done at the earliest, if in initial stages it can be cured completely without any complications. The more you wait the more worse it gets.
There are chances of it being MS too, you may have to discuss with your treating doctor to investigate you in that regard.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.

Has ordered an x-ray for my back. Is it correct to assume the x-ray will not show nerve damage or issues that might be related to MS? I would also like him to run a test on my liver and pancreas.
