It's really difficult to classify pain with various different types. The type of pain associated after vigorous exercise is really because of soreness, but the type of pain one experiences from blunt trauma (a kick to the head) is different, but in both situations, there is what can be described as "pain."

Not quite. Pain comes from the nerves that send an electric impulse to the brain. I had ACL surgery with a patellar tendon graft and they actually had to cut through a nerve to remove the graft for my ACL which left me with a small area of numbness by the incision (since it was only a superficial nerve). Not quite
just the brain because otherwise I'd still have feeling in that part of my knee.
