Hello. Your back pain could definitely be 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 anything to ask please contact.
