Most acute pain experience: Dentist hit an errant nerve during an upper molar root canal where Novocaine had not been injected. Blinding pain, crippling pain as close to raw pain as I have ever been. And a sweet relief experience when I was then injected with Novo.

Wow! Coming up with exactly 0 referents for just how painful this must have been.

It was interesting. The phenomenology included a kind of whiteout, an acute experience without any distance, pure. No mediation or as close to no mediation as I have ever experienced. Other pain experiences, I could observe them and reflect on them: broken limbs, toothaches, etc.
