Answers:
I have been experiencing pain since November of 2002.
One of my experiences was when going to the emergency room for chest pain and in atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. I had a heart rate of over 300 beats a minutes and my chest was really hurting. I was laying on the gurney in the emergency room. All of a sudden while holding onto the metal rails on the gurney, they zapped me or defibrillated me at 50,000 volts for 6 seconds and they did that a total of 6 times in the next 10 minutes.
My other experience was with kidney stones of which I had more than 10 kidney stones and had lithotrypsy which explodes the kidney stone and then you pass the particles. My kidney stones were all larger than 8 mm in diameter and the particles were still very hard to pass. I would say that the pain was at least that of child birth, not to take credit away from what a woman goes through with childbirth.
The third pain that I have had was back pain from my L4 and L5 area that went all the way down below my knee and into my lower leg. This pain in the leg and back was very excruciating.
Also the headache pain from Hydrocephalus, which is where the CSF fluid in the brain does not drain off as it did not for me starting in November of 2002. The pain was a level 10 and above with 10 being the worst pain ever. Also having 6 brain surgeries in 6 years to have shunts in my brain replaced and I still have my hair. I have had 6 brain surgeries in 5 years with 6 replacements of shunts in my brain. That is pretty painful. In May of 2006 I had the same surgery and was not able to eat for 10 days as the pain was so bad all I could do was take pain pills and go to the bathroom. I was in too much pain to do anything else

I have had two children natural, and while that pain was bad, I think the sciatica back pain trumps the labor.Labor only lasted 8 hours each, this back pain has gone on for weeks, and at points can be excruciating.
Child birth is not that painful; at least for me it wasn't. And the end result is worth any amount of pain. If it was that bad everyone would have 1 child only!
The worst pain for me was when I had Viral Meningitis. The Dr's thought I'd had a brain hemmorage.I had an explosive massive headache for almost 2 weeks. I layed in a dark room with no light or noise of any kind. I was on sedatives & pain killers. When the headaches finally went away my eyes still hurt for another few weeks. I had to wear sunglasses in the winter time
I have two.
I shattered my right elbow(broken in 6 places from mid-forearm to upper elbow), tore 2 ligaments, and also tore my biceps tendon and wrist flexors playing softball. It even hurt to breathe before I got the good meds.
But, before that when I was 6ish, my older brother talked me into "bungee jumping" off of our deck. He and some of his friends tied a rope around my waist and told me to jump off. Of course it was stupid but I was at the age where I didn't care so I jumped. I was falling, getting closer and closer to the ground, waiting on the bungee effect to come in. I hit the concrete 30 feet below without slowing at all. A few seconds later(surprisingly I was still conscious) I was jerked back 7 or 8 feet in the air by the rope only to be dropped back to the ground. lol The bungee was a little late. I guess it was good that they didn't pull the rope midair because I would have had pretty serious internal injuries. or at least more than I already had.
When I was 6 years old, I had two teeth pulled, and these teeth still had the full roots. I can't get numb at all, so I had to feel the whole thing, and my dentist was not sympathetic at all (he always told me to shut up any time I tried to let him know something was hurting me). In addition to that, there just happened to be a strategically-placed mirror in the room where I could see the whole thing. That was one of the worst experiences of my life...
