My head is paining all over?

[Eagle]

Hello Everyone. I hope you are all well.
It was a very long time I don't visit the website.
I have a question about the use of the word "pain"

I know that saying: "I have a headache" / I have a pain in my head is correct. But in this website (www.reliefzone.com/whypain.html , I'm writing it down, so you can check it out) I found: "My head is paining all over."

quote:
-------------------------------------------------
What does a Tension Headache feel like?

"It feels like a band around my head."
"My entire face hurts."
"It feels like my head is caught in a vice."
"My head is paining all over."
"It starts without any warning."
"One side of my head is hurting."
"It feels like I'm wearing a very tight hat."
"My neck and jaws are aching."
"It's a endless, dull, throbbing ache."
--------------------------------------------------

Why can that sentence be possible?

Well thank you very much for your help.
Regards. Eagle

Hello Eagle

In Pakistan and India many students and even some teachers use the verb 'pain' in this way, and that is basically wrong. You could substitute hurt for pain.

1- My head/ hand is hurting terribly.

The verb 'pain' needs an object. See below.

* It pains me to have to say this, but you no longer can be trusted.

Hi Eagle

The website you got the sentence from is located in the state of Washington (USA, west coast). So, assumedly, it was said by a native speaker of English.

I guess using pain this way might be used colloquially in some areas, but it sounds bad to me and is, as Tom said, not the "correct" way to use the word pain.

Thank you Amy and Tom very much for your explanations.
I was really sure "pain" could not stand in that sentence.

Hi there, I agree that 'paining' is used incorrectly in that context, however, the word pain does have the present participle 'paining.' I'm actually unsure what that means, I was just playing around with Microsoft Encarta Dictionary and I stumbled across this.
I always thought that paining was not a word so I Google'd it and here I am. If paining is a word, can some give me an example of it being used correctly?

Thanks,
Pooven
