Your most intense pain ever?

Ruptured a disk, ouch! That sounds extremely painful, I've had buddies who have been medically discharged for back issues, that being one of them. Worst "pain" I've experienced was waking up a day after having testicular torsion surgery, it was a very bad groin pain. Actually made me throw up a couple of times in pain. It only lasted for a day or two but it was worst than an ACL tear, right thumb tendon laceration and Lasik eye surgery.1

In January I had eight kidney stones, all too large to pass and one stuck in my "duct work". Three surgeries in two and a half weeks.
And the worst part, there are more forming that they cannot do anything with YET! Sigh.....1 -
I've been stabbed, shot and burned, but the worst pain I have suffered is from Gout.2

Hands down, giving birth to my 1st child, without the benefit of any pain medication. There IS no greater pain. Ladies, if you have the choice, TAKE THE EPIDURAL.
I have to agree with this. 36 hour labor with my first son. Not all those hours were excruciating but the last 10, I almost had to have an outer body experience to cope. No drugs? WTF was I thinking. TAKE THE EPIDURAL!!!2 -
Stubbed my toe once10

I will say this, I would go through disc herniations, unmedicated childbirth, stab wounds, broken bones, tooth extractions, etc. any day to never experience the unexpected death of a loved one. THAT HURTS!!! Not to diminish the physical pains people have mentioned but a mourning broken heart tops them all to me. That's just me though.4

Hands down when I had a staph infection on my arm. My mom and I had no idea what it was, and my aunt who was studying nursing told us to drain it. My mom squeeze it and I could hear and feel it "pop" and then all of the infection started coming out. I was shaking and crying and throwing up and almost passed out. It was so bad that mom took me to the doctor and he told us what it was and how bad it was. Definitely learned to never, ever squeeze an infection! Bad idea. Still have the scar and everything.0

I had a hangnail last week. Oh my heavens...4

A combination (all at once) of endometriosis, fibroids, a twisted ovary, and blocked fallopian tubes. That was definitely the worst! Second place would be Basillar migraines - my whole head, face, and ears felt like they were being stuck into a vice squeezed to the max.1

My third child was 9lbs 12 oz..she was born completely drug free and broke my pelvis on the way out. Not pretty.1

But seriously...prostatitis combined with epididymitis.1

Some might think I would say it was my broken back (L1,2,3, and 4), ruptured spleen, or my ruptured colon or the fact that I suffered them all at once. However, they fail in comparison to my first heartbreak. That still hurts!2

Kidney stone, never felt pain like it!1

I was about 12 pounds....40 stitches later, I made my way out....messed up my mom's hips for life. I feel like I made up for it by a) immediately and consistently sleeping 11 - 12 hours through the night and b) giving my dad my kidney so she could keep her husband for a little longer6 -

When I had mine, the nurse in the ER told me that women who've had kids and kidney stones have told her there was more pain with the stones.1 -
IUD insertion with no pain meds. It only lasted 15 seconds, but I almost passed out. I've had plenty of painful experiences (tattoos in places with just bone) but that one was nothing like anything I've ever felt before.0
