dor de câimbra/dor insuportável


Explanation:
A câimbra é uma contração involuntária do músculo, geralmente causada pela falta de alongamento e/ou de água e de potássio, provocando uma dor paralizante, insuportável.

Neste contexto, talvez signifique uma dor realmente causada por câimbra ou uma metáfora, ou seja, uma dor tão insuportável como a provocada pela câimbra.
