Hi. I have six unruptured brain aneurysms. All behind my eyes. Two are in the left side of my brain. One has been treated and I’m waiting for my third surgery next month to hopefully get the last three. For the past two days, I have had pressure behind my left eye and sometimes get a pain in my temple that shoots towards the back of my head. Has anyone else experienced this?

@lisa930 Three, four, and five years ago I had pain in my left temple that would sometimes "travel" to the side of my head. My P.C.P. tested me for giant cell arteritis. The test came back negative. Then, a few years after that a meningioma was found incidentally on an MRI scan. Long story of dealing with that but after having a craniotomy and having the meningioma removed I no longer have that temple pain. So my point is, it's your brain, and perhaps the presence of a larger aneurysm being there could somehow cause the temple pain.

Hi @lisa930 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Three brain surgeries is significant.
I moved your post here to this existing discussion on unruptured aneurysms so you could chat with others here who've talked about similar circumstances, such as @nancy6822 @mkoch @thirdbird and others.
I'm sorry to hear about the pain in your temple. Have you gotten to ask your neurologist or neurosurgeon about that?
How are you feeling emotionally through this?
