الان سرم کمتر درد میکند، اما شکمم هنوز خوب نیست.

The -م is the attached possessive ending meaning my.

• سر = head
• سرم = my head
• شکم = stomach / belly
• شکمم = my stomach

In Persian, this attached ending is very common, so instead of saying a separate word for my, you often add it directly to the noun.

Because the base word شکم already ends in م, and then the possessive ending -م is added after it.

So:

• شکم
  • م → شکمم

This is normal in Persian spelling. It is pronounced roughly like she-ka-mam.

You see the same thing in words like:

• اسمم = my name
• دستم = my hand

سرم درد می‌کند is the normal Persian way to say my head hurts or my head aches.

Literally, it is something like:

• سرم = my head
• درد می‌کند = does pain / hurts

So Persian often expresses pain with a body part as the subject:

• سرم درد می‌کند = my head hurts
• پام درد می‌کند = my foot hurts
• چشمم درد می‌کند = my eye hurts

This is a very common pattern.

Because the grammatical subject is سرم = my head, not I.

So Persian is structuring it like:

• My head hurts
• not I hurt my head

Since سرم is singular, the verb is singular too:

• سرم درد می‌کند

This is similar to English my head hurts, where hurts agrees with head, not with I.

کمتر means less.

It is the comparative form of کم = little / less.

So:

• الان سرم کمتر درد می‌کند = Now my head hurts less

It does not mean the pain is gone completely. It means the pain has decreased.

الان means now.

It sets the time frame for the whole first part of the sentence:

• الان سرم کمتر درد می‌کند = Now my head hurts less

In Persian, time words like الان are often placed near the beginning of the sentence, but word order can be somewhat flexible. For example, سرم الان کمتر درد می‌کند would also be understandable.

هنوز can correspond to both still and yet, depending on the sentence.

Here, in شکمم هنوز خوب نیست, it most naturally means still:

• My stomach still isn’t well
• or My stomach isn’t better yet

So هنوز shows that the bad condition continues up to now.

Yes. In Persian, خوب often means well, better, or okay, not just good in a general sense.

So:

• شکمم خوب نیست = my stomach is not well / my stomach is not okay

This is a natural Persian way to talk about health or physical condition. It does not sound strange in Persian, even though in English you might translate it more idiomatically as:

• My stomach still isn’t better
• My stomach still doesn’t feel right
• My stomach is still not okay

Because خوب نیست is broader than درد می‌کند.

• درد می‌کند specifically means hurts
• خوب نیست can mean isn’t well, isn’t better, doesn’t feel right

So شکمم هنوز خوب نیست could include pain, nausea, discomfort, or a general stomach problem. It is less specific than saying شکمم درد می‌کند.

Yes, you could absolutely use ولی here.

Both اما and ولی mean but.

• اما is a bit more formal or bookish
• ولی is very common in everyday speech

So both are fine:

• الان سرم کمتر درد می‌کند، اما شکمم هنوز خوب نیست.
• الان سرم کمتر درد می‌کند، ولی شکمم هنوز خوب نیست.

The meaning is the same.

In standard Persian spelling, می‌کند is preferred.

The standard form uses a small separation called a half-space:

• می‌کند
• نمی‌کند
• می‌رود

Many people type میکند informally, especially in casual texting, and everyone will understand it. But in careful writing, می‌کند is better.

So your sentence is more standard as:

• الان سرم کمتر درد می‌کند، اما شکمم هنوز خوب نیست.

In everyday speech, it would often sound like this:

• الان سرم کمتر درد می‌کنه، اما شکمم هنوز خوب نیست.

A rough pronunciation is:

• alan saram kamtar dard mikone, ammâ shekamam hanooz khub nist

A few notes:

• می‌کند in formal writing often becomes می‌کنه in speech
• الان is commonly pronounced alan
• هنوز is commonly pronounced hanooz

So the sentence is perfectly natural, and with می‌کنه it sounds even more conversational.

No. You do not need من here.

The possessive endings already show whose head and stomach you mean:

• سرم = my head
• شکمم = my stomach

So adding من would usually be unnecessary unless you want extra emphasis.

For example:

• سرم درد می‌کند = my head hurts
• من سرم درد می‌کند is not the normal way to say it

Persian often leaves out subject pronouns when the meaning is already clear.

The sentence as given is very natural, but Persian word order has some flexibility, especially with time words and adverbs.

Standard and natural:

• الان سرم کمتر درد می‌کند، اما شکمم هنوز خوب نیست.

Also possible:

• سرم الان کمتر درد می‌کند، اما شکمم هنوز خوب نیست.

But the placement of هنوز before خوب نیست is especially natural, because it modifies that continuing state.

So the original order is a very good one to learn.
