According to British scientists, these are the strongest pains caused by various health conditions and diseases.

Cluster headaches

Cluster headaches are unbearable attacks of histamine headaches on one side of the head, primarily in the eye area and temples. Symptoms such as anxiety and restlessness accompany the headache. The pain is so severe that it can affect the ability to perform daily activities.

Shingles

Shingles is a contagious disease that leads to severely painful fluid-filled blisters on the skin. It is caused by the herpes virus, the varicella zoster virus, which causes measles. A viral infection can last up to a month.

Adhesive capsulitis ("blockage" of the shoulder)

This is the most common cause of shoulder pain and stiffness in humans. The pain and numbness may last for two or three years before disappearing spontaneously, and in the early stages the condition can be very painful.

Bone fracture

A bone fracture or fracture is an injury that results in the disruption of bone continuity. It can appear in any bone in the body and cause severe pain and inflammation. The severity of the fracture depends on the strength of the fracture.

Heart attack

Disc herniation

It most often occurs in the lumbar and cervical part of the spine. The pain is caused by the pressure of the disc (cushion) which is located between the two vertebral bodies and which is pushed to the nerve that comes out of the spine. A slippery disc can irritate nearby nerves, resulting in pain and numbness or weakness in the arm or leg.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease characterized by constant pain and a constant feeling of fatigue, and lasts, in most cases, for a lifetime. It does not damage muscles, joints, organs, is not life threatening and over time becomes tolerable. It reduces the ability to work and significantly affects the quality of life and mood.

Gastric ulcer

Helicobacter pylori infection, drugs, lifestyle factors, severe physiological stress, but also genetics play a major role in the development of the disease.

Acute pancreatitis

Endometriosis

Arthritis

Kidney stones

Kidney stones are one of the most painful disorders that affect people, and also one of the most common disorders of the urinary tract. Men are more often affected than women. Once more than one stone appears in a person, it is more likely that more will appear.

Sciatica

Migraine

Migraine is a vascular headache that occurs periodically and the pain mainly affects half of the head. The pain is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and visual disturbances. A characteristic of migraine headaches is that before the attack in many cases there is the so-called aura.
