Can pain cause chills?

After a sudden, sharp pain in my side yesterday, I started feeling cold and had shivers, even though it wasn't cold outside. My family said it might be due to the pain. Can pain cause chills?

I can only speak from my own experience with severe kidney stones. The pain was so intense that I started shivering and got sudden chills, even though I didn't have a high fever. It was a really scary feeling.

In our family, we usually drink warm ginger water when we feel shivery from body aches. However, chills along with pain can sometimes mean there is an infection spreading. Please consult a proper doctor to find the real cause.

Haha, when I stub my toe hard enough, I swear my whole body gets the chills! On a serious note, extreme pain can definitely shock your system and make you shiver. Grab a warm blanket, but definitely call your doc if it doesn't stop.

I've dealt with chronic nerve pain and experienced sudden chills during flare-ups. The nervous system gets overloaded, causing your body temperature regulation to go a bit haywire. Try to keep your environment warm, drink warm fluids, and discuss this symptom with your specialist.

When I have severe pelvic pain during my cycles, I sometimes get cold sweats and mild chills. I'm not a medical expert, but I think our bodies just react strongly to intense discomfort. It's always safest to check with your gynecologist or doctor.
