The doctor operated my neck is telling the me that every is normal according to MRI and CT scan. I am very confused and I am on opid and nerve medication (Gapapentin).

Hello,
Most probably it will be due to neuropathic causes. As the imaging ( CT and MRI) are normal, no further surgical correction is required. You can continue gabapentin for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
