Default it makes me hurt

Expanded context: who, with the knowledge of her doctor, kept a video diary of her daily struggle with the illness and her amazing return to health and light. # Good Morning America's Dr. Nancy Snyderman tells us about the disease that steals mothers from their newborn babies. Ms. MONK (voice-over) A newborn baby, a time for joy. MEREDITH MONK, Composer What makes me hurt so bad inside? (Footage of pie chart that reads (voice-over) But for some, it can bring baffling darkness-@3:27843@ I'm just afraid everyone's going to treat me like a freak! (Footage of pie chart that reads (voice-over) -and emotional numbness. MEREDITH MONK, Composer I have no bond with my baby and, to be honest, I don't even feel like she ...

In the sentence 'What makes me hurt so bad inside?', does 'hurt' mean 'ache' or 'injured'? In other words, is 'hurt' here a bare infinite or a past participle?

Could I ask native English teachers to help me please? Thank you very much.
