Is it possible for one to get eye floaters from pain?

1/: No. Floaters do not cause pain.. However, you should see your ophthalmologist for this, as it is a signal that you may have a tear in your retinal, which may require treatment with a laser.

No: The only mechanism for getting floaters from pain is if one is hitting ones head on the wall or falling because of the pain
