I think my worst pain was the morning after my ankle surgery, when the guy came in at 5AM to put me in a cast, and he had to try and straighten my ankle out. And I was still on morphine.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I swear to god, people, not only am I never doing anything more physically active than riding an escalator again, I may never eat anything other than popcorn, either.

When I got hit in the diaphragm and passed out, it wasn't exactly painful. I just couldn't breath. And then I was waking up on the ground. Not a lot of pain.
I think the worst pain I've ever been in was reproductive organ malfunctioning.
just about every injury I've had has seen me thinking to myself "If it was really broken (or whatever) it would hurt more". At least I have learned not to trust my self assessment on that basis.

I've scraped my shin on the nasty escalator treads.
Popcorn hulls jamming into your gums.
IJS.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Okay, this is *seriously* funny stuff. (And much more enjoyable than swapping "worst pain EVAR" stories.) I actually had to look up the Kellogg's website for something work-related (loooong story), and they have a section that's all about the mascot characters, including Snap, Crackle, Pop, and the Keebler Elves, with character profiles for each. And the profiles (especially of the elves) are *really* funny. Go here: [link] and click on either "Kellogg's characters" or "Keebler Elves."

Yeah, that hurts.
And you gotta worry about trailing hems getting caught in the escalator and pulling you into the grainding sharp teeth of the escalator.
Or maybe that's just in my head.

But neither of those things hurts like what you people are talking about!!

Crap. Escalator out. OK.

In first aid, they teach you that a symptom of a broken bone is "obvious injury without significant pain." I know it didn't seem to hurt all that much when I broke my hand.
