Hi Chiku and welcome to iSpine community.
To be honest, I've never heard someone having problems just because of transitional syndrome.
However, annular tears can cause big pains, depending on size of tear.
Additional tests that could be done in your case are MRI with contrast (contrast will help differentiate tear), discography, etc. This will show if your annular tear causes pains.
Regards.
