What Causes Pain In The Left Temporal Region?

I have what feels like a wave of pain in the left temporal region. Usually, all my issues are on the right side of my head because I have a portion of a left temporal tumor remaining. If it is scar tissue involved would I feel the pain on the left or should I feel it on the right side.
