You have an artificial intervertebral disc. Intervertebral discs consist of cartilage and connective tissue. Intervertebral discs connect neighboring vertebrae to one another and absorb pressure and shocks.

The foreign material has caused problems or damage in your case. The foreign material may no longer be in the right place, for example. The surrounding tissue may then be damaged.
