A member asked:

If your head hurts does it mean it has to do wit somethin in the brain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necesarily: The brain does not have pain fibers... The vessels and the membranes that cover it [meninges] are the ones with pain fibers.. The majority of the headache syndromes do not have to do with brain structural abnormalities...
