What is the most pain you've ever experienced?

When I was I think 13 or 14 I was getting the wire in my in my braces changed. I have a fairly small mouth (too small for a normal amount of teeth, I had to have several taken out because there just wasn’t room for them) so usually the ortho would trim the new wire a bit, put it in place and then trim the rest of the excess.

Well, one time the nurse either didn’t trim it enough or just not at all, so when she put the new wire in it was straight up stabbing the back of the inside of my mouth. It remained like that for the better part of an hour, but of course because I had a bunch of other tools jammed into my mouth at the same time I was completely unable to communicate the issue, and somehow she didn’t realize I was in tears the entire time.
