Pneumothorax, for me. Each breath feels like a knife is being driven down through your shoulder into your chest.

Mine was similar to yours agravated slightly by a jalapeños from a kebab stuck in the tooth....
The wife found me at home punching myself in the head to take away the pain....
I was drunk, the pain was so bad we went to a back street dentist in a woolly patterned jumper near Oxford street in London, he litarally did pull my tooth out it was so dodgy I recall discussing it in the waiting room with the wife. The pain was so bad I went ahead and let him pull it out he actually had me in a head lock because it would not come out....
I actually have since been to a registered dentist and I told them all about it and all teeth fine I don't even have a filling, just a missing back tooth....
Pain was awful...
For those wondering why I did not go to a dentist, I had not registered or even been to a dentist since I was 15 as I had braces as a kid for a while I hated dentist.

Lower Back or suffering 6 months of Rheumatoid arthritis that really hurt . Walking around like an 80 year old was no fun.
Mine started as a spontaneous tension pneumothorax which they tried to fix with a needle, but only succeeded in causing a haemothorax instead.
It then took them 24 hours to figure out what had happened, at which point I was introduced to the joys of a chest drain for a few days - the feeling of a finger wiggling about in my chest cavity during the insertion will live with me until the day I die.
After removing said drain, they sent me home only for it to recur so it was back to hospital for a new drain, which ended up falling out one night and was seconds away from having a nurse ram it back in before a doctor or consultant or someone literally screamed at her across the ward that that would be rather less than a good idea.
Fun times, all in all.

Having a tooth drilled out. The dentist administered a local anaesthetic by injection prior to doing it.
The pain and horrific vibration of that drill echoing through my skull still haunts me now. Not having ever had a local anaesthetic at the dentist before, I'd assumed that was just how it was meant to be, and that obviously these things weren't that effective. I was clinging on to the chair with tears in my eyes for however long he took to complete the drilling.
It wasn't until several years later that I discovered the injection was meant to completely numb everything, and that evidently it had failed on that occasion.
FFS.

Done various things but last yr when I went to have wisdom tooth out and they got halfway through & then I said I could feel it... 8 injections or so later and I could still feel it... When those injections wore off - ****ing hell! Tears! Had to pop 3 or 4 tramadol that the Mrs had just to take the edge off - horrific!

Kidney stone
Two very different pains. Snapped Achilles, it sounded like a gun being fired. About two years ago I woke in a bad pain. I spent two weeks in Hospital and it was given the title of chronic pelvic pain syndrome, it comes from an area of the prostate (they think). At its worst I was considering suicide . I had to give up work. With time things are somewhat better and the tablets help.
Sliced my thumb open at work, that hurt but when I went to hospital to get it stitched they injected my hand to make it numb, and that seemed even worse.
Also had an injection in my forehead before stitches and remember that hurting more than the cut.
Lucky pain was only short term and nothing compaired to some of the posts in this thread.

Bit too much detail but I fully empathise!
Had an internal procedure in the "Southend" area many years back, under a local anaesthetic which (prepare to faint) hadn't fully kicked in before the surgeon got started. I still have nightmares about that. Apart from enduring prolonged and excruciating pain in what is an incredibly sensitive area there's also the added layer of psychological trauma given that most people find it all utterly hilarious a la "Carry On" humour and it's not exactly something one can share openly with friends and family in the pursuit of sympathy. Frankly, a pain in the a**e!That was even worse than when I crushed two fingers in a hydraulic press in a furniture factory during a school holiday job, in pre H&S days. Oh, the wonders of child labour!

Recently put my lower back out. Agony. The sharpest crippling pain in lumbar region and shooting spasms up to the shoulders. Took 4 weekly trips to an osteopath before it finally relented. Doing alot of gym work now to get my core strength increased.

I thought it was an abscess in one of my teeth, that was until I had a kidney stone which made the abscess seem like a walk in the park. The pain, even though it was intermittent, was beyond excruciating and was combined with throwing up and sweating like crazy. The little bugger eventually passed naturally, which the doc had said would happen, and I made a point of extracting it from the toilet so I had a reminder of how something so small could cause such grief
