医生,我最近老牙疼... In English we would say, Doctor, Recently , always (there) has been pain in my tooth.... or I always (have) pain in my tooth. So, why not use "有" for example, 医生,我最近(有)老牙疼 .... or 医生,我最近老(有)牙疼... CAN WE DO THAT? 

or 

看著他離去,我的心(有) 鑽心般(的)痛。

Thanks ;0) Jason

I have a question (by the way... thanks again YuQinCai for your last explanation!!!)

1. a. 昨天我跟他見了面. (Does 昨天我跟他見面have a different meaning or maybe it doesn't make sense??)

    b. 洗了澡就睡吧. (Does 洗澡就睡吧 have a different meaning or maybe it doesn't make sense? ?)

    c. 我去那裡游過詠. (Does 我去那裡游詠 have a different meaning or maybe it doesn't make sense?)

2. 他們正聊著天  (I know the function of 著, but what is the difference between 他們正聊著天 and 他們正聊天?)

Thanks again Pod-Care-Takers ;0)

I definitely know that difference between不 and 沒, but there are still times when either of them might be used as opposed to the other one, but I yet I wouldn't know why. 

So, when would we use 不 versus 沒 ...for example:

1. 你頭疼嗎?我不頭疼。/  你怎麼了?我不舒服。

2. 你感冒了嗎?我感冒。

Is it because we are supposed to read the first examples as if it included the verb "do" or "is"?   ---  i.e. "Does" your head hurt? No it "doesn't" / What's up, I "am" sick.

Are to read the second example with the the verb "have"? " Do you "have" a cold? No, I do not "have" a cold. 

Anyway, if there is a rule I can follow as to how to know when we are to use 不 versus 沒, I would appreciate that! 

Thanks!!!!
