Temporal arteritis
I never had headaches in my life .Few months back suddenly I had this tenderness on left side of my head slightly above the temple.I thought it may be due to hair colouring and ignored it .now it's been around 6 months I guess and the tingling has not gone away .It happens on being touched by finger or anything .And headache also occurs in that region .Meantime I had ligament tear in my feet once so got a blood test done .And my ESR was above 90 .Doc said is coz of my feet inflammation.Is it possible for me to have temporal arteritis ? Coz it's the exact area where I have headache and tingling and shown on the net .Headache comes and goes but tingling on being touched is present always .
