Sometimes you get the wrong end of the stick

I wondered what I was getting into with this chap hurting a young lady but the rest of the tone did not seem to match that so I looked 疼 up.
It seems as well as hurt or sore 疼 means "dote on"! I love the way these suprises come out of the wood work sometimes and make you think you've learnt nothing...
