Pain relief for throbbing/burning/pulsing temples 3 months after face and brow lift.

April 15, 2017
Asked By:donnajohnson43065 in Ohio, OH

I had brow & face lift 3 months ago. I'm still in intense pain from burning and pulsing in my temples. Also the stitches behind my ears feel like they will explode. I'm considering seeing a neurologist to see if I have unusual nerve damage. Any advice?
