I'd be interested to know, so I know what to avoid doing.
I'm lucky, I've never broke a bone in my life, so have avoided one of the most painful things right there.
Some things that spring to mind though :
When I was young, I was wearing only shorts and trainers. I climbed a hill which consisted of a steep face of jagged rocks. I then fell down the jagged rocks. I was bleeding all over and in terrific pain. I was v.young though, so the pain is a distant memory
When I was 16 on work experience, I climbed on a fork lifts forks to get to a high shelf. After retrieving an item and placing it on the forks, the guy lowered me down, and I had to hold one of the three stansions. I didn't realise that these clunked together when the forks were lowered. Luckily there was about a centimetre gap between the stansions, which stopped me from losing all eight of my fingers. I couldn't move them all day though, and they went black and blue.
I jumped off a sand dune in newquay onto a barbed wire fence that was covered with sand, and tore a 4 inch gash in my foot. The wound got loads of sand in it, and the surgeon scrubbed it out with a toothbrush. I had 19 stitches
I fell in the shower when I was young, and smashed the soap dish with my back. It was ceramic and dug straight into my back, missing my spine by half an inch. I had 15 stitches.
Ok, lets hear your horror stories :

Me too
I only just got up.
I asked how old you were about 6 hours ago and I wasn't really expecting a reply...
Muaahahahaaaaaa
Even though I have fallen off of motorbikes at considerable speeds, have metal plates holding my wrist, collarbone and leg together and chipped my spine and had to wear a brace for 6 months, and that's not including all my accidents when I was mountain bike racing, there is no doubt about the most painful experience I have ever had.
I was out on the lash (surprise, surprise!) with a bunch of mates, and we were on the way back after a mass drinking binge. We were mucking about, and I went to leapfrog one of those green electrical boxes next to a set of traffic lights....
This part went fine, I cleared the 4 foot box with no trouble, not realising that there was a concrete bollard on the other side. all my weight was on my hands so i couldnt get clear of it, and i landed square on my nuts without my feet touching the floor.

I got thrown across my room when I was four because I got electrocuted, I removed the bulb from a desk lamp, while it was on, and then stuck my finger in the socket. I knew I would be electrocuted, but I didn't think it would be as bad as it was, I got an electric burn on my finger and a bruised back where I got thrown against the wall, I like pain and I like adrenaline. WHY AM I ON THESE FORUMS??
Probably when I had a trapped nerve in my back,I had to sit upright all night until I could get painkillers the next morning and get some sleep.
