Hello. Your back pain could definitely related to the nerve root compression caused
by the calcified nerve noticed in the CT.
If the symptoms persists, since you have already undergone CT.
The best investigation you can request your doctor is MRI whole spine will better evaluate the pathology.
hope it helps you. If still have any thing to ask please contact.
