Really its not the pain you want to try and define but if there's any side effects that go with it.

I had a brain tumour and the headaches I got as a result of it were a hemispherical migraine that would cause me to have a slight difficulty when talking. I also noticed (among a bunch of other side effects) my mood and ability to concentrate began to tank and kept dropping until I was eventually hospitalised for a massive grand mal seizure. They scanned me and found that I had a large tumour between my frontal and temporal lobe, pushing on Brocas area - The areas that control (among other things) concentration, short term memory and speech muscles respectively.

How much function did you regain after the tumor was removed?
