Doler is a fairly common verb (and, like many everyday verbs, it's conjugated irregularly, in the same way as mover is) that is used to say that something is hurting a person or otherwise causing pain. Doler can be confusing for beginning Spanish students who forget that it usually requires a different sentence structure than what they are used to, although its use is very similar to that of gustar.
