The brain itself can’t feel pain
Ever wonder how brain surgeons are able to perform surgeries on patients while they’re awake? Beth McQuiston, MD, neurologist and medical director at Abbott, explains that even though the brain contains layers of coverings and blood vessels that contain pain receptors, the brain itself has zero.

The muscles and skin surrounding the brain, however, can feel pain. These are the 16 signs your headache pain could actually be something worse.
