A member asked:

What can cause tender temples , sore eyes and tender bones behind ears

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vasculitis : I hope this is transient, in which case i would not worry. However, some condition affecting small arteries can cause the symptoms you just described, usually in the elderly. Do not panic and see your healthcare provider.
