A member asked:

I poked my temple four days ago still hurts and had a fight with parents extremely worked up possible to have burst an artery due to blood pressure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

*Probably* OK: What was your temple "poked" with? An ice pick? Back end of a shovel? Trowel, like in "Night of the Living Dead??" Or was it a fist or accidentally with knuckles or whatever. In any case as long as the rest of you is OK then it's probably just a bruise. The temple area is very sensitive (like your ribs or shins) and will take time to heal. You've passed the "serious" period of 48 hours.
