A member asked:

What does it mean when the left side of brain hurts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not the brain!! : The brain itself cannot feel pain ! pain is due to pressure or irritation of tissues such as muscles, blood vessels or meninges the headache you are describing is not necessarily due to any intracranial pathology.
