Aching in aye, plus other symtoms

Hi, I posted in this thread http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Eye-Care/Ache-in-eye/show/1264588 and I'm now getting worried if it's a tumour. :(

Thank you for any advice.

If you mean your temporal lobe by front side, you might still explore the TMJ possibility. One might wonder also if you have some congestion in the sinuses causing the clicking- I think I've had that happen before.  There's the sphenoid sinus on the front side in the eye area there is the frontal sinus.  Perhaps you should ask your doctor if you might have a sinus infection?

Thanks for the reply,
This clicking is more around the sinuses and the front top or front side of my head. I may try that thanks, as well as getting a second opinion about my eyes from my local hospital.

A lot of your description over on the other forum looks to me like you are having aura- to determine if ophthalmic migraine, you do want an expert.  Also, does your eye seem to be dry?  I think that can cause some aching.  

And the clicking - could it be coming from your jaw joint?  If so, you might want to go to a maxillofacial specialist or dentist specializing in TMJ disorders (temporal mandibular jaw).  I'd recommend you ask for a referral to a neurologist to see if a brain scan is in order or not.
