throbbing pain
Rhythmic, pounding discomfort
Throbbing pain is pain that pulses rhythmically, often in sync with the heartbeat.
The sensation intensifies and eases in waves rather than remaining constant: a throbbing pain behind my eye, My thumb throbbed where I'd hit it with the hammer.
Throbbing pain commonly accompanies migraines, toothaches, and injuries where blood flow increases to the affected area.
