Answer: Throbbing, Sharp, Aching, Cramping, Tingling, Crawling

Explanation: Adenocarcinomas are types of cancers that start in mucus producing glands. The pancreas produces hormones and enzymes that help to digest food. About 85% of pancreatic cancers are caused by adenocarcinoma. These tumors starts in the ducts of the pancreas.

Pain is a symptom that can't be ruled out when we are talking about adenocarcinoma. The pain is usually as a result of the tumors pressing on the bones, nerves or other organs in the body. Since the pancreas is a soft tissue, damage to it may cause "throbbing", "sharp" or "cramping" pains. The tumor may also produce chemicals which may damage the nerves and cause "burning", "tingling", "crawling" pains. The tumorcould also press on the nerves causing tingling and burning pains.

Also, the pain could be as a result of nerve changes due to chemotherapy treatment. In this case, the pain descriptors could be "numbing" or "tingling". The pain at the site of injection could be referred to as "burning" as a result of the burning sensation one may feel.

Why does working out make us feel good
Elis [28]

<em>why does working out make us feel good?</em>

<em />

That "feel good" chemical is known as Endorphins. They are released during exercise because of the body goes through extended amounts of stress when exercising. Have you ever heard of the "Runners high"? It's actually a real sensation that you can thank Endorphins for.

Serotonin is also an important chemical that contributes to why exercise feels this way. Have you ever felt depressed after sitting around and doing nothing? Low serotonin is one of the biggest contributors to feeling depressed. Serotonin is in alot of anti-depressant medications. Serotonin is mainly released through exercise.

There could be a reason not relating to chemicals at all. Working out and seeing the results gives us a major confidence boost.
