any one out there experience temple pain..right temple, only hurts when it is grazed, like putting glasses on, applying make up over the area, lightly touching, laying on that side of face...does not hurt if i press finger into area and apply pressure...hurts more, or is sensitive to light touch...had it for almost 2 years now....Been to ENT, TMJ doctor, had cat scan, MRI , been on all sorts of medication,tried, muscle relaxer, anti-seizure meds. nothing really helped, until one post indicated valtrex relieved symptoms as it may be a shingles type of virus that has attached itself to my nerve ending..even though i had no other symptoms. i still have the pain although it has improved.......What do you think?
thanks for your thoughts on this.....
