Suggest Treatment For Pain Above The Eyebrows
Question: Hello,
I have had pain slightly above my right eyebrow, toward the temple area. It's on and off almost like a pinching pain every day. Some days worse than others and the spot is very tender to touch. Feel bruises and if I touch it and let go the pain lingers for a few seconds after words. It's been about a month now and I have no idea if this is at all related to a sinus issue.
Thanks
