I only get that thick /tough arerty feeling sometimes it comes & goes with pain when i get it that's why i think i have temporal arthritis this scary?

No : Temporal arthritis is not found in this area. What is found is joint destruction as a result of a muscle dysfunction causing the joint to work where it is not designed for, the only exception to this is trauma as from major accidents or war type injury to this area.
