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...
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.
