My friend started a thread the other day about life and pain experiences -- her point was that her ruptured ovarian cyst (which almost killed her) was by far the worst pain over childbirth (which required a C-section and put her in the ICU and ALSO almost killed her) because, in essence, childbirth is still something your body is supposed to do, and while it is painful, it does not feel fundamentally broken the way other pain does.
She had a bunch of other friends with kidney stones and similar agree; and it makes sense to me because this is pain that is telling you to Something is Broken/Wrong, and so it's got to dial it up a notch.
