What could be the cause of pain in the left temple? Short sharp persistent pain in the left temple?
Since last night, I get these sharp pains in my short time left temple. They usually last 3-5 seconds. I do not drink beer heavy Saturday night ... ideas that could be the cause?
I am an orthopedic physical therapist, so I will approach your case musculoskeletal side. I see clients with similar complaints and most of them have trigger points of upper trapezius. Trigger points in the upper trapezius may refer to the pain of the temple area. Try to have massaged your left upper traps (depth). It might make her feel better. You can also put a heating pad after. If it gets better, then you must find what causes it. Stress? Are you left handed? mouse? heavy purse? Poor posture? previous injury? Good luck.
