furtechWhile I wait for some goop to dry, I'll toss this question to the crowd:
What is the worst pain you ever experienced?
Mine was a scratched cornea: don't let anyone tell you there are no nerves in the eye! Writhing pain, with the added nastiness that you can't really don anything but wait until it heals (4-8 hours, typically). And there is no "comfortable" position! Closing your eyes has 'em rubbing on the lid; keep them open and the pain makes tears (salty water open wound=*aieee!*).
A close second would be when I had (unknown to me at the time) a compression fracture of my foot and a helpful salesman jammed my foot into a formal shoe. A magnificent pain that had me hallucinating, blacking out and hearing opera all in the space of a split-second.
