It is frequently used to describe the lingering discomfort after an injury or the sensation of fatigue in the limbs after heavy physical exertion.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with sharp or stabbing pains, which are better described using words like 刺痛. It is specifically reserved for that internal, throbbing, or heavy sensation.
