¿Dónde siente la molestia?
Explanation:
Ofrezco otra alternativa que he escuchado decir a médicos (especialmente odontólogos). Esta expresión presenta la ventaja que no es tan fuerte como "dolor" ya que muchas veces la gente no suele identificar un dolor como tal cuando no es agudo.

Explanation:
First one is rather personal, for people who are on friendly terms; however there are many other ways of asking the same question such as ¿Qué le duele? ¿Donde tiene el dolor? and so on. I hope this helps. Good luck!
