Ached

Her heart ached for the poor child.

His muscles ached from sitting too long in one position.

My muscles ached from playing tennis too much.

His heart ached when he saw his son's miserable state.

My legs ached after the long walk.

His head ached.

She ached for home.

My heart ached for the dying birds.

The soldiers ached for their homeland.

It's ached before, but never as badly as right now.
