Tender Temple And Cheekbone, Stuffed Nose. History Of TMJ. Do I Have Temporal Arthritis?
The past week I have a tender temple that is tender down my temple and over the top of my cheekbone. Doesn't hurt unless I lightly touch it. I have a slightly stuffed nose. Am under a lot of stress at work. Have had tmj. 54 years old. If it should be temporal arthritis could you tell me what is the outcome if diagnosed early. What else could it be?
