People do not necessarily say it when they are hurt, but when they are being hurt or someone is hurting them. It is because saying uncle when means you are surrendering or admitting your defeat. For example, a bully is holding your head against the wall, telling you to say uncle. You scream, "UNCLE!". This satisfies the bully because you have surrendered to their attack.

Does this help? :')
