Raneah, I really hope that you can find out what is causing your pain.
I know you said your chiro was getting a colleague to order an MRI, and that's great. But I would call your doctor again, tell him your symptoms are getting worse, and you are still in excruciating pain. If he still won't do anything to help you, I would find another doctor.
I don't think the Chiro is the best doctor for you to be seeing, though at the moment he/she is the only one actually willing to try and help. But I think you need a doctor who is well versed in spine problems, to make sense of the MRI results and start working on a solution.
Best of luck to you.
