Your most intense pain ever?

I used to work in a FROYO joint, and when I was pouring the liquid mixture into the hopper of the machine, I must have overextended because I felt a sharp pain in my ribs.
I could barely move, and so my husband took me to the hospital. They gave me two shots of dilaudid, and it didn't work for the pain. So after a TON of tests, apparently I tore the muscle that is attached to my rib cage. Very painful and to this day, 5 years later, I still get a dull ache if I press in the right spot!0 -
Here's one for ya....It didn't happen to me, but to my brother-in-law's friend....they were out in the bush playing capture the flag. A group of them would go out old logging roads and find forested area with no trail to set up their boundaries. Anyway....he was running, but there was a little drop off.....because the height of the growth around him was about the same as the height of the taller bushes and trees coming up from the bottom of that mini cliff, he didn't realize the ground would drop off and just kept running. I picture this like Wiley Coyote running off a cliff and hanging in mid air while his legs keep running and then down he goes. Anyway...it wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the fact that there was a skinny, dead, branchless tree sticking straight up below him. He fell onto it straight up and down....straddled the thing. It pierced him right between his front and back bits.....gave him what we now fondly refer to as a "panus" (or maybe "painus" would be more accurate) since a new orifice was created at the halfway point. Rescue folk had to "top" the tree and leave it in to get him to the hospital....which would also have sucked. Luckily, although I'm sure he'd probably say that was the most painful thing to ever happen to him, his new "piercing" missed everything important on the way up and didn't cause any permanent organ damage. Yay!!0

One time when I was younger I had a large burn on my arm and I didn't change the bandage for like 2 weeks. I then had to rip my own skin off to get the bandage off. That was...awesome.0

Running races with a herniated disk, would come through the finish line bawling my eyes out. Or soaking a very infected road burned foot bone exposed and all.0

GSW to the L. hip that cracked my illiac crest. Felt like some one hit me with a sledgehammer in the hip, then drove ice picks in for fun.0

Broke my tibia and fibia is a sort of twist fracture but was in shock so fast the pain wasn't terrible... until they set it by sitting me on the edge of a bed and letting it drop down and twisting my ankle back straight.
But worse, was breaking my metacarpal bone in my hand behind the pinkie (boxer's fracture). To numb it before setting, they shot Novocaine straight into the marrow of the cross section of the bone. Instant white hot fire from my groin to my ears, only felt for a second before I passed out from the pain. Never felt anything like it and hope to never feel it again.

Got hit broadside by a car running a red light while on my bike. Got thrown about 30 feet. Shattered tibia, fibula, and ankle with a severe compound fracture. Unbelievable pain and nearly a year of recovery.
Good times.1 -
So the top pain written here seems to be stones. I've promptly Goggled my risks of getting a stone. After reading these stories, I'm relieved to see that my risk is low.
I guess I'm somewhat lucky in that the most intense pain I've ever contracted was a leg cramp. I'm not sure why it happens, but for as long as I can remember, every so often, in the middle of the night, I'll get a terrible leg cramp that's mostly in my calf. It usually goes away really fast, but there have been a time or two where the pain dragged on for a good hour or so. These cramps never last past the night though, thankfully.1
