In my experience the pain after the aura sometimes happens, sometimes not. But it’s usually not severe anyway, just an annoying constant headache that lasts for a while (hours) after that.
When I was younger, aura meant I was in for 4-6 hours of intense headache afterwards (aged 14-20s). But it reduced more in my 30s and is rare now in my mid 40s.
Same experience here. I’ve gone through many superstitions regarding it, like living near heavy pesticide use, eating potatoes, refined sugars, brain tumor…
Mine were all very connected to relaxing after a stressful time. Most weekends after working an unnecessarily stressful job. I’ve since changed careers and now they are much less common, and also a bit more random, or it’s possible I’m not identifying stressors in my life as well now.
Same for me as well. Usually now I get what kind of feels like a sore brain muscle the next day? Like if I cough or sneeze it’s like a little sharp pain. That usually lasts about 12-18 hours from the onset of the auras.

I get the feeling that it’s still happening to me, just outside my head. A floating migraine, tethered by tired spite.

I think the common shared experience of all of us is none of us can tell with absolute sure what triggers it, but we all naturally look for patterns.
