Can this pain be nerve pain? Throbbing/tight/strange sensation to right side of head and temple area after brow lift.

Asked By:browlift70 in Middleport, OH

5 wks post brow lift. I initially had a swollen knot on forehead that has improved. Daily I have a constant tight feeling to right side of head with a throbbing sensation. Almost like feeling your heartbeat in the area. If I touch certain areas of forehead and/or incision I get a pins and needles feeling in that same area. I contacted my surgeon because the throbbing is very distracting. Not necessarily painful but....there. He told me to call my PCP and that it sounded like a headache???!!
