I often have a pain in the side of my head, mostly that area. Some of it is stress and some of it is fibro. Be diligent and if it worsens you should talk to your Dr.

if they pressed on a nerve, it could be hypersensativity to nerves which is part of fibro or migraine - caused by stress get it checked out.

Often times, it is a muscle spasm and even though it really hurts, if you place your finger on the spot and hold steady pressure for a minute or me, it can release the muscle and ease the pain.

I have had tenderness in my temples for. a long time. I also clench my jaws uncontrollably some times. I just added you to my team. Hugsxxx.

Could be early presentation of TMJ issues.
