I have a pain on the top of my head and i get temple pain. i had a CT scan of my head 2 weeks ago?

do you think it could be a tumor or something else. i am going to a a neuroglist on friday. should i be scared? i get pains all over my head.
Answer:
It is good you have an appt. with a Neurologist: Just guessing of course, but I would guess, Temporal Ateritis---Blood work and other symptoms will zeron in. Quite often SED rate (blood work) will reveal a higher than normal sedimention rate.
They diagnosed me with similar and took prednisone in declining doses for 9 months which relieved problem by some 90 pct. Good luck. Go prepared to ask lots of questions although some Drs. dont like that.
