Would you feel pain with a broken/severed nervous system?

The question is a bit weird, so I’ll clarify.
To my knowledge, the brain is part of the nervous system, which is what lets you feel things. If the brain was severed from the rest of the system (Like at the base of the skull) would you feel pain there or would you just feel nothing?

Depends.

Example: phantom limb syndrome. Severe pain with severed / missing nerves. Brain works funny.
