Worst pain I've felt would probably be the kidney stones I dealt with last April, the day it happened I felt a little bit of kidney pain for most of the day but at the time thought I just hurt a muscle from sleeping wrong or stretching wrong but later when I went to lie down it suddenly hit me all at once and then got even worse (easy 9/10 pain). Thankfully the pain died down a little bit (to around 6 or 7/10) after a minute or two but I was still in a lot of pain and ended up going to the hospital as I had no idea what was going on (should also mention I puked multiple times, once at home and 3 times at the hospital). The doc hit an area on the left side of my lower back and it hurt quite a bit and he was like "yep, kidney stone", got some pain meds shortly after but it was still hurting and I had to sit through an ultrasound with that lingering pain until they finally gave me the good stuff. From what I saw on the ultrasound I had like 5-7 stones, they told me I'd pass them within a day or two but I never did and months later got another ultrasound which revealed only one so thankfully it seems they slowly broke up on their own and I didn't have to deal with them slowly and painfully making their way out as a whole.
One thing I'd recommend to you all is drink lots of water, I thought I drank a good amount at the time but realized I really should've been drinking at least 50% more. I've also been taking it easy on high oxalate foods such as veggies like spinach (super high in oxalates) and nuts as I'm certain the stones I had were oxalate stones (most common type of kidney stone)
