Hi, Although the chances are very slim that you should have this entity I would counsel you to get to a doctor (neurologist, ophthalmologist, or rheumatologist would be ideal for what you're describing) to rule out an entity called giant cell arthritis.  As I said, I don't think this is the most likely diagnosis, but it is the most important one to make sure you DON'T have at this point.  Since you're not describing headache symptoms then, I don't believe to be migraine or any variant thereof, however, some lab work and a good examination of the left temple with the inner mucosal surfaces of the mouth would be a good idea. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further by sending questions to me at www.bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.
