While 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.

Fortunately, I've managed to stay injury-free most of my life. Only times I've really hurt myself was while playing baskeball. I rolled my ankle once (sounds quite similar to what you have, actually) and wrenched a back muscle in another incident. Those were the only times things were bad enough to send me to an Rx for treatment.
