Close the book and put a rubber band around it. Bandage tightly and take it to the doctor tomorrow. - annierats, Jan 22, 2012

As Chileno said 'it hurts' (me)

So ...

Me duele la cabeza. My head hurts (me, obviously)

but

Me duelen las piernas. My legs hurt (me).

Because it's reflexive, its: it hurts/pains me. It's related to dolor: pain.

Doler is an irregular verb.

Here is its conjugation.

It can be emotional pain as well

Me duele por lo que me dijiste. What you said hurts me.
