  An   ache  is discomfort that continues for some time. It is usually associated with a specific part of the body, such as a headache, a stomachache, a toothache, an earache. After you exercise, the next day your muscles will probably   ache.  An ache is usually not extremely strong, so you can try to ignore it. Pain  is usually stronger, more sudden, and more difficult to ignore. You would feel  pain  when you cut yourself or hit your head on something. If you exercise and you injure yourself – break a bone or tear a muscle – you would feel a sudden  pain. We also have the expression  “aches and pains,”  which describes general and various physical discomforts.

To describe an ache or a pain, you could say: My ankle  hurts.  = I have...

  Reflexive pronouns   The reflexive  pronouns are  myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.  There is also a reflexive generic pronoun:  oneself .   Same subject and object   The reflexive pronouns are normally used when the subject and the object are the same person.
