i think that saying everything is a construct of our own brains gives us a more important role in the world than we really have. also the fact that doctors ask you to describe how something hurts to help them know what's wrong shows that people, at least to some extent, perceive pain the same when they have the same medical problems, and what would be the chance of all those people's brain's just constructing the same feeling if there wasn't some degree of common "truth" to whatever problem they have. Some people can’t feel pain, but are equally susceptible to injury and death. So even if the pain is a construct, whatever is causing the pain is more than just a construct and has the same consequences to people whether or not they feel or “construct” pain. Also, some people can’t perceive motion.
