Your brain can't feel. It's the rest of your head that feels it, associated with the dysfunctions that happen in your actual brain when it's swollen.
Edit: your brain has no pain sensing capability itself. It's a fact.

you are your brain. You feel pain, therefore your brain feels pain. It doesn't have any pain receptors in the organ of the brain, but it interprets and feels signals from those receptors throughout your body.
Edit: it can also feel sadness, anger, hatred, depression, etc. All of which could be called being in pain. You wouldn't tell a depressed person on a ledge that they're not in pain
As someone with fibromyalgia, I have to disagree.
