What Causes Tenderness And Pain In Both Temples?

Do you agree? I'm a 58 year old female otherwise healthy.
Thanks
Does not indicate anything serious.
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
From the description for the moment I would agree with your GP. There are no symptoms there which could be indicative of any brain lesion such as stroke, infection (of the central nervous structures that is, not urinary), tumor etc. The pain produced by such conditions is not associated with scalp tenderness either.
Most probable cause would a tension type headache, a primary headache (primary meaning with no identifiable cause), which is often triggered by stress and anxiety (the infection and extra treatment might have had an influence), often associated with scalp tenderness. Over the counter painkillers like Ibuprofen are usually effective in relieving it.
Of course if there appear any new symptoms other considerations can be made. I remain at your disposal for further questions.
