I have a knot on the side of my head. it hurts to massage it and causes some muscle pain when i look up. do i need to get this looked at?

Tmj/temporalis: i know you don't want to jump the gun. The temporalis muscles is a common source of a 'knot' , muscle tension, and even migraine. I suggest you look up that muscle and see if that matches your discomfort. Tension and TMJ can cause these problems. If you know is somewhere else, make an appointment.
