What Causes Pulsating Veins In People Bulging C Disc?
I m 53, with pulsating vein in my left temporal area. Noticed slight headache behind my lower left ear, a little tender to touch, not bad, just there. That has been for a while. Thought it may be due to a bulging disc I have in my c discs, but this pulsation is uncomfortable

Hi. Read and understood your concerns.
This can not be due to the cervical disc problems for sure.
This looks to be die to arteritis or some vascular disease for which a detailed clinical evaluation is required and the lymph node behind the left ear must have been the reason for the pain.
Get blood tests including EST-this you have stress on, sugar and thyroid function tests.
proper diagnosis and treatment can help you.
