完全可以。因为 since 除可以用作连词还可以用作介词。

He has been feeling a dull pain in his chest since he was brought there.——用作连词

=He has been feeling a dull pain in his chest since being brought there.——用作介词

自从他被带到那里以来，他一直感到胸口隐隐作痛。

又如下面一句（摘自《夸克英语语法》）：

The wall has been like this since being damaged by a bomb. 自从被炸毁之后这堵墙就一直是这个样子。
