What Causes Pain In Left Temporal Region?
I have been having a sharp pain in my Left temporal region for a couple years now. It comes and goes it has been happening more frequently and last night I went to bed with the pain and woke up with it this morning. Applying pressures to the area alleviates some of the pain but once I take pressure off it continues. What could this be due to?

unilateral intermittent temporal pain has few differential diagnosis
1. migraine
2. temporal arteritis
3. Some intracranial space occupying lesion
but in temporal arteritis usually it has some scalp tenderness and should not be releived by applying pressure.
Still i advise you to get MRI Brain, ESR test done
