A member asked:

I have pain off and on at my left temple.....tenderness sonetimes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Temple pain: Temple pain could simply be a muscle headache. However an artery courses thru the temple soft tissue thar can get inflamed. Temporal arteritis is the syndrome. Get checked please. Temporal arteritis is serious - can lead to eye impairment.
