What Is It Near The Left Temple That Hurts, Feels Tender, Swollen Like A Vein And Causes Headaches?
I get headaches once in a while where I have pain around my left eye and sometimes it extends to hurt on the left temple and a there is a particular place that feels tender and like a vein is swelled up. It hurts and it hurts more when I press on it. It stays tender and painful for about 2 to 3 days. What does it mean?

Hi,
You might be having vascular headache and the cause for it may be the superficial temporal artery which runs along the temple. It is important that you consult a neurologist and get your condition confirmed and take proper treatment.
