"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?

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