On a flight to LA a couple years ago, as we were descending, I had a sudden, super intense pain in my right cheek just below my eye. It lasted only about 5 minutes but it was definitely a top ten pain experience. I think this is called a “sinus separation” but whatever it was, I don’t wish it on anyone.
Another intense pain was the lidocaine shot for my vasectomy. It was mercifully only for about 3 seconds, then all went numb.
