Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
After going through your query I think You are suffering from lumbar sponylosis with degenerative spine.But your MRI results came back normal. It means it may be due to muscular spasm, muscles compressing one of nerve root causing shooting pain down your lower back to your tail bone and your right leg goes numb on and off.
