Apparently there is a specific type of mushroom that will make those go away.

The worst pain I have ever felt is a constant burning pain in my legs, same as if they were dipped in a fire you cannot see... at the exact same time it feels as if there is a vice crushing the bones in my legs... at the exact same time as all of this any touch feels like an ice pick being driven into your body... this touch can be from a loved one or even the clothes I wear, and it is also constant because the clothes and touches are seemingly unavoidably constant.
And that is just some of it... the same exacerbation of pain brought on my clothing and touches is also brought on by sound... anything loud, and also by movement such as when I walk...
and there is no escape outside of death.... it is 24/7 for the last 14 years...
I have CRPS Type 2...(Also known as RSD or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy)

Well I'm sure mine doesn't compare to kidney stones, but, the worst physical pain I've ever been in is when I tore most of the ligaments in my right ankle. I was skateboarding and caught a trick too far up the board, so that my right foot was pretty much half on, half off. When I landed, it went straight under the front kick and I went straight to the ground.
It's the only time I haven't been able to reply to my friends to tell them that I was okay, I literally couldn't find the energy to talk, 100% of my concentration was focused on the searing pain in my ankle. I was on crutches for about 2 weeks and had a bit of a limp for a further week or so after that.
I've broken my hand, a toe and a rib and have had countless bruises, sprains and strains, but none of them even compare to what tearing ligaments was like. They were painful, but they didn't made me curl up in a ball for 10 - 15 minutes like the ligaments did.
did my ligaments in left ankle about 6 weeks ago. Couldn't get out of bed for a solid week, had to crawl to the bathroom the first night and even now still don't have proper motion in it. I always sprain mine (see above) but this one was excruciating. Left me seeing stars and trying to not throw up and pass out so I feel you!
