"In the throngs of suffering"

I'm proofreading something for someone and he used this phrase "in the throngs of suffering". I don't see this word too much and wanted to know if he's using it correctly?

It seems pretty severe to me, but if it fits the situation, use it.

Thanks, Rover. Another case of working before coffee (even though I have only one mocha latte per day).
