Your brain can't feel. It's the rest of your head that feels it, associated with the dysfunctions that happen in your actual brain when it's swollen.

Edit: your brain has no pain sensing capability itself. It's a fact.

As someone with fibromyalgia, I have to disagree.

Facts don't care. Your brain does not feel pain because it literally can't.

Christ you sound like an insufferable 10 year old with your 'facts don't care'. If you had actually read what you linked, you would have read the part where it specifies that the brain is what perceives pain even if it itself does not contain nociceptors. Claiming that the brain 'does not feel pain' is nothing more than semantic click bait.

As someone having lived years with unending pain and central sensitization, I find it hilarious someone telling me my brain 'does not feel pain because it literally can't'. Oh what I would give to be this healthy and naive again.

Facts about subjective things such as pain actually care.
