A member asked:

Could my headaches be just my imagination?

Probably not: Pain is always partially "in your head" because it is your brain that processes pain. Besides getting the right input from the painful area of the body, the brain also takes into account emotional signals when producing our personal experience of pain. Everybody experiences pain differently.
