so last week I had I kidney stone. made me feel like an old ass man (which I am). holy shit, I never thought anything could hurt that bad. three morphine shots couldn't even numb the pain. made me cry like a wee girl. what's the worst pain you've ever experienced?
Physically? Em... I don't know. Torn muscles in the neck and back region are absolutely terrible. I dropped a 50 pounds dumbell over my shoulder at the gym once. It dragged my arm backward and over my shoulder until I dropped it. The pain was terrible, and it was even worst over the next few days. When you injure yourself in this way, the smallest movements are painful, since it's quite inevitable that a lot of movements require the muscles of your neck and back to be used.
I've also had broken bones in the past. The pain is very sharp, but it doesn't last that long compared to muscle injuries, and once your limb is in plaster, it's pretty rare that you'll feel any more pain. It's annoying to have an arm in plaster, and it's even worst when it's a leg, but as far as pain goes, broken bones really isn't the worst. Well, at least not in my experience. But I've never broken any fingers, facial bones, a collarbone or any bones like that. So I wouldn't know for these.
I also had to get facial surgery in my lower lip. They opened it and patched it up. The stitches were in my mouth and I would often pull them by accident with my teeth. Just thinking about it makes me feel sick. Even when I didn't touch the stitches, the pain was excruciating. I had to take cocktails of painkillers to be able to sleep. It took something like a full week before it stopped being continuously painful.
Otherwise... getting hit in the nuts also hurts a lot. But it's nothing like the pain of a torn muscle or that facial surgery I had.
