I would pop and see the doc and get checked over so you can be reassured for the weekend

Strokes typically happen pretty quickly - within 30 minutes or so. Since it's been going on a day and you're essentially fine (aside from pain) I don't think it's a stroke.

I doubt it's a brain tumor, either - they're pretty rare and I think the symptoms would be different. It could just be a really bad headache; when I get migraines sometimes it makes my entire body hurt.

However, it wouldn't hurt to see a doctor, if only for peace of mind. They may be able to prescribe you something for the pain as well.

Hope you feel better.
