Hi.
The typical pain is due to the nerves getting reattached to each other in a different fashion during the healing process. This is called parasthesia. This is usually a self limiting disease . IF you feel it it troublesome you can get a prescription for the medicines to reduce this type of pain.
The trauma which has caused such a severe problem should have been investigated .. by a CT scan as the bone defects are better in a CT scan than a MRI. CT will also show other parts of the brain and all.
Go for a CT scan
