Singular. Hurt refers to your head, not the number of posts that are making it hurt. You DO only have ONE head, I hope. One never knows about you evil furriners.
Would make no odds. Were I a two-headed Englishman I'd still say "all the grammar derp in here makes my heads hurt". There's no way I could conjure up a sentence that would let me say "this... makes my head{s} hurts".
