Kidney stones for me too. I've had 12 so far.
I don't know if it's the strongest pain sensation known, but I do hope that there isn't any pain worse than it.

Yeah, that sounds pretty nightmarish.I was in a fire when I was 12 or so and got 2nd and 3rd degree burns on about 80% of my feet. I had to relearn how to walk once everything finally healed and do lots of physical therapy for it. To be honest, the most painful part was what they call debriding, where the infected and burned flesh is removed from you. Imagine like 3 adult men holding you down inside a whirlpool bath while another scrubs your wounds with instruments under jets of hot water. The fire itself + all the rehabilitation were nothing compared to a few sessions of that shit.

While working construction, I ignored both the "don't go above this step" warning and the "do not lean" warnings on an A-frame ladder and it kicked out from under me. Must have caught my foot in the rung on the way down as I dislocated my left ankle. My dad heard and came in and saw my shoe sideways at a funny angle and said "tell me your shoe slipped off your foot." It did not. Luckily nothing broke, but I tore pretty much everything that keeps it in place.
It wasn't really the injury itself that hurt the most, but starting to put pressure on it and exercise it once it "healed" was awful. I think when it actually happened there was so much adrenaline involved that I could barely feel anything. I felt almost dizzy on the way to the hospital, but there wasn't any blood loss.
I forgot to mention I have a high pain tolerance but ear infections piss me off. I have undersized tubes and they block all the time.I had an ear infection where the entire side of my face swelled up and the ear canal was completely swollen shut. They had to shove a tube in there so they could vacuum puss and whatnot out my ear canal and apply antibiotics. That was the most pain I have ever experienced even compared to kidney stones.
That said overall kidney stones were worse. The pain itself wasn't quite as bad but while the ear pain subsided the kidney stone pain was unending to all but morphine.
My most painful physical experience was waking up a couple years ago with back spasms, something I never had before. Every slight move in any direction felt like strips of flesh being torn off my back with a pair of pliers. It took me 90 minutes to get up from the floor, with help, where I had slithered down to in hopes it would be easier to climb back up to my feet (which it wasn't by any measure.) I had no idea back pain could be that ridiculously crippling!
