Traumatic brain injury, Facial fractures, nerves damaged, feels icy-cold, hypothyroidism. Hormone deficiency cause extreme pain?
I had a TBI from a ski accident 4+ years ago. I had numerous facial/ jaw fractures repaired with titanium and also have nerve damage in my face, lips mouth, tongue and inner cheeks and gums. Everything feels icy-cold and is a 10 on scale 1-10 daily, starting in late morning until bedtime , when I take Lunesta to sleep. I have read that TBI can cause pituitary and hormone problems, specifically HGH. I also have hypothyroidism. Could hormone deficientcy cause extreme pain?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The hormone deficiency can cause altered sensations but the pain is likely to be due to a nerve irritation or neuralgia. An evaluation by a neurologist is recommended.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
