Temporal arterties does it cause pain sometimes or it's always painful? what r sysptoms i'm 21
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually painful: Temporal arteritis is a condition that involves inflammation of the blood vessels, particularly in the area around the temples. Other symptoms can include vision loss. This is a condition that typically affects people age 60 and over; it is extremely unlikely to affect someone who is 21.
