Terrible tightness in both temples & down left cheek. Sometimes pulling,nerve pain in left scalp, temple & above left brow. Also have a small,sometimes painful (feels in way) lump under left neck. Getting ultrasound from PS on cheeks & neck 1X/ week-5 wks w/ no improvement. What is causing this? & Why not improving? Can it be too tight? What can be done to reduce tightness? Will it go away? If it doesn't, is there anything a surgeon can do to alleviate it? Anything to get rid of lump on neck?
