Can I say 'This is hurting me like never before' the way we say 'Satellite technology offers the opportunity, as never before, for continuous television coverage of major international events' ?

Thanks

Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. But I finally realised that it is really impossible if you don't put your money where your mouth is.

Yes. It's not very formal English, of course, but you can say it.
