Hi there.  Throbbing headache on one side of the head and back of head along with scalp sensitivity and tenderness on touching the scalp are seen with temporal arteritis. There is inflammation and damage to the blood vessels that supply the head area, especially the head area, the large or medium arteries that branch from the neck. The cause is usually a faulty immune response.
Consult your neurologist immediately who would examine you in detail. Some blood tests would be asked for, biopsy and examination of tissue from the affected artery. Treatment would be with steroids and immunosuppressants. Take care.
