My grandmother is in excruciating paid, she fell of a chair and tried to balance with her, arm. 

Now she strained her main arm ligament, she is really in pain. 

Its paining, I am in pain , what is grammatically correct

If one is hurt and feeling pain, how do you tell someone this?

I know it really hurts, please tell me more...

The best way which is grammatically correct is I am in pain 

I'm in pain. 

My head hurts. 

My arm is hurting. 

I'm not certain "pain" is a verb, nor if it lends itself to conjugation. 

I am in pain is the correct answer.
Pain is a noun, not a verb, so you can't say 'Its paining'.[Note that pain is a verb in with the sense of causing pain to someone.]
