Sorry to hear about your pain. I am having that type of pain, not electrical, but piercing type of pain in the temple region, but I have TMD problems and that may be the relation for me, as TMD, also causes neuralgia's, if there is nerve compression ect. Have you had a hit to the TMJ joint during sports. This can cause that kind of problem as well. Look up on the web the missing link, trigeminal neuralgia and TMJ-TMD. It may be something to rule out, and if not that, see a neurologist, that should be the first place to go, or an ear nose and throat (ENT) specialist. Hope your doctor sends you to them. If not ask him too... Hope this helps...

You think so? I mean it would make sense yea we have doctors for a reason but I always end up putting it of for some reason or another usually time related. But I guess you are right, I'll make an appointment to see my general physician for the time being soon. Thnaks for any help you've tried giving. I appreciate it.
Have you seen any doctor at all ...about this ?
You must see some doctor......I try to avoid that also........but ......it isnt going to go away on its own ......so you must get help
Sorry but I can't get anything to work. No matter what medication I try it doesn't matter. The pain would subside slightly when I massage the area that the pain has spread too. Sometimes I tie a long piece of cloth against the area pressing evenly on the skin tightning around the it keeping my temples and forehead from moving but othertimes it just makes the pain worse. Once again it started of this morning at school and if I don't bring my grades up I lose my scholarship. I'm not sure if I should make an appointment with a nuerosurgeon just yet. Im hoping it's just an injury like maybe while playing sports but it feels so much worse then anything i've ever experienced before...im going to try tieing a warm cloth on now since I can feel the pain returning.
Sorry for your pain......I am going through the same thing right now......and it comes and goes and is so painful I want to put the head through a window.............
I have an apt with a neurosurgeon on the 31 st .....but I dont think I can make it that long
did you take anything for pain ?
Sorry I just remembered or actually the pain reminded me after making me forget, the area which hurts after the pain stops will begin to hurt again when I touch it or when I tap it. Especially if I tap it and I push down it hurts a lot then. It'll hurt less if I pull the skin up or stretch it to my eyes but sometimes it also hurts behind my left eye and it really hard to focus on studying when I can't even open my eyes. Im losing hours of precious time because of this.
Also I am 18 years old and I've never ad this type of trouble before, I don't have stress aside from normal college but this started over the summer. A stress free time...I am Male and Im healthy I work out and everything. Its not an injury and it goes into my temple.
