@wrkbrk: it was! It took almost a year to heal so every time I sneezed/touched my face the wrong way it hurt

The pain during labour of going from 0.5 cm to 10 cm in 2 hours was excruciatingly. I was shaking so bad at the end from the pain. I'd asked for an epidural shortly after I was brought to a room (at 2.5 cm), but progressed so quickly that I was fully dilated before the anesthesiologist came. Luckily, baby was still high, so I had time to relax before starting to push.
Cluster feeding at 2 weeks, when I was already so raw, and a severe strep throat both warrant mentions.

I've never been through labor and recovery so that can't be my answer.
I had C diff for about 6 weeks, which is a deadly intestinal infection that causes uncontrollable bloody diarrhea. The first few weeks when it was undiagnosed, I took anti-diarrhea meds bc I didn't know. During testing and after diagnosis, though, you can't take those, bc it traps it in your system. I kept calling the nurse line sobbing, the cramps and pain hurt so bad. The pain continues even if you have nothing left in your body. My poor DH... this was the first year of marriage.

Here's my top 3
1. Kidney stones while 20 weeks pregnant
2. Root canal but they didnt get it all so 2 days later a 2nd emergency root canal
3. Popped a stitch during recovery from my tonsilectomy, that didnt hurt so much but the stomach cramps from swallowing blood and discomfort of waiting in the ER with my mouth gushing blood did a number on me.funny... labor didnt even come close to to making the list

I haven't had a baby yet, so I can't say labour, although I'm sure it'll be up there when the time comes.
1) When I was on the pill, it gave me IBS. Those stomach cramps were by far the worst thing I ever felt. It's hard to imagine that labour will hurt more. There was one time it hurt so bad I almost called for my husband because I thought I was going to faint. I know labour will be worse because the contractions will last longer. The peak of those IBS cramps were probably only about 10 seconds.
2) I slipped on some concrete stairs and landed on the edge of a stair, right on my butt. I felt fine after, but the next day I hurt SO bad. I could barely walk. It lasted about 2-3 days. I must have really hurt my tail bone.

Recovering after emergency C-section / exploratory laparotomy for internal bleeding after car accident. I had a vertical incision and pain meds did literally nothing. Throwing up when you have staples up and down your abdomen is the worst feeling I've ever experienced. It was so painful I didn't want to live.
That being said, I've also had the pleasure of experience dry socket, a UTI AND SHINGLES (I thought only old people get that???). All were extremely painful as well.

17 hours of unmedicated labor for sure..
-
@rachiecakes: oh my GOD! That sounds so painful!
-
Kidney stones at 37 weeks pregnant. Unmedicated labor felt like a walk in the park compared to that.
-
Another vote for kidney stones. All of the vomiting from pain made it worse than labor
