Default PCS : Is a pain on the brain possible?

I had a concussion snowboarding a few months ago. Most of the PCS symtoms cleared up as in a normal "uncomplicated" concussion.
However for a few weeks after i became aware of a pain on the base of my brain(i assumed it was due to swelling in that part of the brain). Now i dont think the brain has nerve endings on itself directly so im not sure how i can be feeling this. When riding in a car and going over a rough surface /speed bumps id feel the pain at the base of the brain. I was able to prevent this pain by tilting my head at a angle when going to over bumps. I guess this prevented my brain from bouncing directly up and down which kept the pressure of its base and therefore i didnt feel the pain. I have amnesia both prior to and after my fall so i cant tell how bad it was. Does this seem to make any sense?
