A member asked:
Right temple hurts when touching it, 33 years old is it possible to have temporal arteritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tple Temporal pain: It would be rare for you to have Temporal arthritis at your age, but is more common in women. Likely cause is a tender temporalis muscle from grinding or clenching. Would try an non steroidal anti-inflammatory pill for few days such Naprosyn. If not resolved then see doctor for further evaluation

With temporal arteritis does your temple artery become inflamed and go away? By that I mean, my temporal artery will be very visible for days and then go away for weeks. This happened over the last 4 months? Would that be a sign of temporal arteritis?
