I have developed spine pain, I have told I need a CT scan to check for nerve compression but is it true? Is this the best imaging test to do? Or is an MRI better? Do I need an MRI or CT scan?

For almost 3 weeks now, part of my spine hurts when I press on it. Around the area of pain feels like knots. I would breathe in around that area where my ribs are it would feel like tightness & when I would try touching shoulder blades it would feel like it’s pinching. Last year I went to PT for my muscles in back causing spine movement in my lower back.
