Judging from your stream-of-consciousness post, it looks like you were hit pretty hard.

 

But, in all seriousness, it is always better to be safe then sorry. The doctors told you to come back in if the pain gets worse, and you said the pain is getting worse. Therefore, I think you should go in. My thinking is skewed by the fact that I have all my health costs covered, but regardless, what's the worst that could happen if you went in?

 

Edit: Despite my penchant for the use of commas and long sentences, I still think the use of punctuation is good every now and then.

ang_soo_do_guy, the temple is a very sensitive area. If you are hit hard enough, you could die (not to scare you, or anything. I mean like a baseball hitting you square in the temple).

 

I think I'm a mild (okay, maybe moderate ) hypochondriac, so I would suggest that you go and get yourself checked out, just in case.

 

Hope everything is well!
