Both are great (with the corrections I gave).

[laepelba]

Fantastic! Thanks!

So are these sentences correct, also?
- Esta mañana me dolía el estómago, pero ahora no. (With or without the comma?)
- Después de que me caí, me dolía el rodillo. (Same confusion with the comma...)
Or would it sound better like this: Después de caerme, me dolía el rodilla.
¿¿??

I like to insert the comma.
Using the infinitive is correct (after the typo is fixed) because you are talking about yourself in both places. The other form (marked incorrect) uses an adverbial phrase that takes the subjunctive. You'd only use that if the subject in the secondary clause isn't the same as the one used in the main clause.

Thanks, Rusty!

Después de caerme, me dolía el rodillo.

¡Epa! (Cuidado)

LA RODILLA = knee


el rodillo = rolling pin

Rusty, go to your corner!

la rodilla...

Ugh!! I have so much trouble with these things.... I don't know how to make myself remember the difference between la rodilla and el rodillo.......

Any method is justified. Mine is to remember that @Rusty made a very rare mistake here, so I won't forget that difference quickly.

[laepelba]

There's a good method. (Poor Rusty...).

Rusty wasn't paying attention to the word, only the discrepancy between the two sentences.
Then again, perhaps he was thinking el tobillo instead of la rodilla.
A propósito, el rodillo siempre me dolía.

Aliquando bonus dormitat Homerus...
(Nos pasa en las mejores familias...) Pero para recordar estos matices, nada como tener una imagen:

Mujer con "rodillo":


Imagen de tobillo:

Por cierto, Roger Federer creo que se torció el tobillo hoy en su partido contra Gilles Simon... en París... pero ha acabado ganando en 5 sets...
