HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Gabapentin is used for nerve related pain which may be the cause of your symptoms since no structural cause has been found on imaging.
If this medication has not worked for you, there are other medications for neuralgia (nerve related pain).
Eg lyrica, amitriptyline, nortriptyline, tegretol, cymbalta
You doctor may consider trying one or more of these with you.
I hope this helps
