A member asked:

Everyday on and off pain/throbbing/tenderness in temples. pain is not debilitating. cant see doc till jan. dangerous? comes and goes.

Neurologist: Because of the persistence of your symptoms, I recommend that you consult a neurologist for evaluation. Since temporal arteritis is a possible diagnosis in your case, I feel that you should be evaluated as soon as possible and not wait until the January appointment.
