Temporal Headaches/arteritis Like Swelling
Posted: 04-08-04 01:50am

For eight years doctors have suggested I have temporal arteritis, even though my sed rate is usually 2-7 and biopsy was negative. The symptoms are severe pain and swelling in the temporal artery areas of my head. Many times these symptoms are preceeded by severe vise-like pressure on the top of my head. Usually occurs 2-3 times per week. Codine and tylenol sometimes helps with the pain.
A new doctor recently suggested my headaches and swelling could be tmj related. Has anyone ever experienced this type of head pain, diagnosis? Please share your treatment/outcomes/advise.

It could be tension headache or migraine. On enquiry of more symptomatology a proper homeopathic medicine can be suggested which can get rid of this pain.
