A member asked:
Saw doctor he pressed on and around my temple very firm and it has felt quite pressure and a bit sore since can he do damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, yet unlikely: because it would likely require enough pressure to break your skull to do any significant damage. The far bigger issues: What is going in your temple area and, to a very minor degree, exactly where pressure was placed by what method. These 2 issues combined with mind/brain perceptions of "soreness".
