Please correct.
Since I played cricket my shoulder has been hurting. I wonder where you get all these strange sentences from and you think you can improve your English with them.[YSaerTTEW443543]

Torsten,
Your sentence is very nice.
I know that I should not use ‘pain’ as a verb but I can use it as a noun.
- He felt a sharp pain in his knee.
- I have/feel a pain in my knee.
Are they wrong?
If they are correct, how do you say: “After playing cricket, I am having a pain in my shoulder.” is wrong?
Please clarify. Thanks.
They are correct, but your tense in the sentence is incorrect:
After playing cricket, I have a pain in my shoulder.
Beeesneees,
- After playing cricket, I have a pain in my shoulder.
- After playing cricket, I am having a pain in my shoulder.
The first is present tense and the second is present continuous.
Since the pain is continuous, I am using present continuous tense.
Is it wrong?
Please explain the nuance of the English grammar involved in this.
It’s not continuous - it only happens after you play cricket.
