What is the worst physical pain you have ever felt?

One day, I started to get stinging pain everytime I moved my arm. It started to escalate until I couldn't move it at all anymore and hurt like a fucking bitch.

I was around 14 and my mom thought I was just nagging and being a child, but then it started to really swell until it was around the size of a tennis ball and it all blue.

They took me to the hospital and turns out I had a piece of glass stuck in my arm, near my elbow, and it had been there for the past seven years (I had a frame fall on me when I was 7), and had slowly travelled down.

I was super lucky though, as it could've easily struck a nerve or something and paralysed me from the arm down, and had it not travelled down it could've struck an artery and killed me.
