I know just what you are talking about Elanie. I felt like i had a tight helmet on my head for 7 months. I also felt and still slightly feel my head aching when i am confused and trying to figure things out. My head also feels very heavy during those periods.

But what about regular headaches? Aren't they in the head? And also when people have strokes, there is a lot of pain involved and isn't that from a blood vessel bursting in the brain?

I've felt the pressure for sure! Makes me dizzy...might as well be walking drunk. I cannot.

Over stimulation in the beginning and still to this day results in earth shattering pain in my head...feels like it's gonna blow (my brain that is)....I'd do just about anything to make it quit! Oh...ya...and I have gone ballistic because of the pain.

Not sure it's actually my brain feeling the pain but...never took the time to figure it out. Never realized it was pain in the beginning. My hubby saw something flash just before I lost it one day. He asked...what's wrong? Pain...my only response.

I went to the car as prearranged but later we talked about it. I remember telling him it felt like my brain was being ripped to pieces or it was going to explode.

I'd tend to agree...the brain feels pain or...it's so close to the brain that's how we all perceive it.

I believe the brain does feel pain. I know that I feel pain when the pressure changes in the atmosphere. I get major pressure up there, it almost feels like my brain needs a release valve.

And, it's all about perception anyhow. That all comes from the brain!

Stress and pressure also cause me to have head pain. It's a different kind of pain though. Almost like a halo or something.

Any doctor suggesting such a thing strikes me as a fool.

Not to namecall without a reason. The Bible warns of associating with a fool. People have been having this sort of pain since sin and pain came to the world.

It is a horrible pain, and if one hasn't experienced it, they have no right to claim it doesn't exist. Have a nice day everyone!

I am saddened to know of such pain you have. My son is in the early stages of recovery which scares me to death. He's almost at the 3 month mark, with no response to commands.

On a daily basis I see my son and at times notice that he might be in pain. I wipe his face and see the pain in him. Now I know and pray that is pain subsides.

Worried mother.. : (

I have thought about making a post like this numerous times. It's part and parcel of the day.

I'm rebuilding a career that got out of date while i was down and so I've had to learn a lot of new things and catch up in the computer programming world. I've got a new job and make like I know what i'm doing, which i do mostly - . (they don't know about the tbi or the years i was down) well, sometimes the pain is pretty intense we'll be meeting and talking and it;'ll be pressing down. It never happens on easy days, only on days with heated sessions where i'm pressed to think intensely to figure out things I don't (yet) know.

The brains not supposed to feel pain. idk. it's sure involved in the process.

and then like later on i'll just be burn out and forgetful for the rest of the night. next morning i'm pretty well refreshed and back at it.

Pressing this learning, day by day, does seem to improve things. Definitely once I've learned something, hard as that is, i got it. But post tbi I have to approach my work in the same career a whole different way. .

A headache is pain, so the brain has to feel pain. We know we feel it at times, and other strange sensations at times. Just where do some Drs get their training? Its scary to think some actually think that way. Bet they take a pain tablet if they get a headache.

Kapen, What an extremely difficult task you have. I'm so sorry you have to watch and wait. It's still early yet. You have to always have hope!
Best wishes for healing in your sons near future.

I think the brain has feeling. When I do a task or concentrate I feel a "heavy" feeling in my brain, a straining feeling, almost like I am doing a really difficult math equation and my brain is "straining" to think. I feel it a lot, on the side that was damaged. I felt it even before I knew exactly where the damage was so I know its not imagined.

HI everyone, I know this is late, im kinda new here. My hubby has often told me he has pain in his brain, has frequent headaches, chocks it up to higher blood pressure when feeling overly stressed out and overstimulated, but also has felt atmospheric pressure changing. LOL he's told me he can predict the weather changing better than the local weather forcasters. Hubby is heavy equipment oprerator currently (formerly concrete readymix driver before his accident) and has to wear hard hat on the job site and it puts extra pressure on his screws near his forehead.

Hi TBI spouse,
I'm pretty sure your husband does feel the atmospheric pressure changes. I am also the local weather monitor at my home!
