Are these adrenal/pituitary numbers normal for a 26 year old male?

i had another blood test and got the following results :
SSH : 3.5
LH : 6.3
Prolactin : 7.8
Total Test : 255
TSH : 3.3

are these results ACTUALLY normal? my endocrinologist is not going to treat me because the total test falls within the normal range. apparently that range is 241-800. i am 26 years old and had a head injury in 1999. i have had many symptoms of someone who is deficient in testosterone (ED, limited facial hair, low energy, etc.). i work out and watch my diet. i am convinced that some sort of testosterone replacement therapy could really improve the quality of my life. but now i have to get a second opinion and once a doctor sees the "treatment not necessary" from THIS doctor, i feel like no other is going to "take a chance" by treating me
my research has shown that those who are in the low normal range can benefit dramatically from treatment. will these numbers prevent me from getting help? what OTC routes can i take? it's been 8+ years and i'm sick of this. thanks!

Sorry i dont have an answer but I am interested in your question as i also find that Im also low in energy, always tired and have limited facial hair. I have asked my doc about this but obviously he's crap as he didnt even send me for any tests and I wasnt aware that there was any.

Its hard to tell what is a normal range with lab tests because you really need to go by the specific labs ranges. What is "total test"? Anyway, some endos are a lot more conservative or just plain unknowledgeable about pituitary problems. You should get a second opinion from a pituitary endocrinologist, and you can find Dr. listings at www.pituitary.org. Good Drs will still treat you if labs are in the low-normal range because most ranges are very conservative. Have you had a pituitary MRI? There are no OTC routes. Don't give up...if you have pituitary damage from your accident the MRI should show it. Also, are those the only labs you had done? What about IGF1 (growth hormone)? Testosterone? Cortisol?
