A member asked:
I have a throbbing pain in my left temporal area every so often. could this be temporal arteritis? i am 30 years old.

Always possible: Just unlikely in this scenario. Referred pain, such as from sinuses, TMJ or dental is much more common and best would be to have an exam with your doc in order to get a proper diagnosis.
