The thyroid can cause nerve problems and in rare cases may make neuralgia worse - BUT - I would not think the thyroid would be the only cause of the pain particularly with relatively normal thyroid labs. There is a syndrome called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) that causes strange neurological pains and bone pains - I do not think your bones are trying to break (a bone density may help support that you likely don't have osteoporosis at your age....but then again you did have a stroke at young age...).

I am severely hyperthyroid and I experience quite a bit of joint and bone aches. I feel like I'd like to be able to take off my arms and legs at least and stand them in the corner so I can get a bit of sleep!!
