1.Gall Stones
Sudden pain accompanied by vomiting and fever can be a symptom of a gallbladder attack. Gallstones are made up of cholesterol and can be caused by too much dairy in the diet. The pain can be extreme, causing people to double over in pain and sometimes pass out. Often surgery is required to remove the stones.
2.Trigenanal Neuralgia
Trigenanal neuralgia affects a nerve that runs from your face to your brain. Extreme pain running along that nerve feels like someone is stabbing you in what some people describe as the most pain they have ever experienced. Pain relievers are often prescribed, with surgery reserved as a last resort.
3.Appendicitis
Appendicitis can come on suddenly and without warning, causing extreme pain in the lower left side of the abdomen. Pressure and pain in the belly button is a first sign that the appendix is inflamed and ready to burst. Vomiting, fever and pain accompany a swelling appendix, which requires surgery to be removed.
4.Migraines
Over twenty eight million people in the world suffer from migraine headaches. Knowing your triggers is one of the most important parts to managing this disease. Foods, lack of sleep, stress and light can bring on a migraine which can last hours or days. Symptoms include light sensitivity, vomiting, nausea, and exhaustion.
5.Cancer
Cancer is not only one of the most deadly diseases in the world, it can be the most painful. Causing tumors that can irritate tissue and press on nerves, patients are also given treatments that are even more painful. Chemotherapy and radiation cause side effects that are almost as debilitating as the disease.
6.Kidney Stones
Men seem to be more prone to developing kidney stones, and when passed naturally through the urethra, watch out. The pain can be excruciating. Pain in the hip and flank area, or between the ribs can be a symptom of kidney stones. The disease can run in families and lasers have been used to break them down for easier passage.
