I don't know, a guy getting his nuts tangled up must be a nigh-unheard of level of pain...
Of course every woman will deny there being a worse pain, fine, but getting your nuts in a wad, for hours on end? I'd much rather lose a limb or get stabbed or sliced or something, anything is preferable to getting your nuts tangled.
Also, I'm not being sexist, but I've heard a lot of women downplay the pain of getting hit in the nuts, it really pisses me off because you feel it through your WHOLE body.
The comparison is fairly pointless since nobody can experience both to compare. You could measure pain response thingies in the nerves and brains and the like but there is argument over how much equals to how much pain in each gender. Last thing i heard pain limit thingie was lower in most females then in most males, which means they get more pain more easily but when giving birth they get a sort of higher pain resist level. This would indicate that giving birth does hurt alot, since it has a mechanism to counter the pain hardcoded into the body. Nevertheless, having your nuts tangles is no fun either. You could compare different things too. Giving birth is something that ends and supposedly goes easier with every new kid. Supposedly. I'm not an expert. It can be over quickly or it can last hours. On a sidenote, if you get a ceasarian or whatever it's called, you have a risk of your uterus ripping open at the healed cut with the next pregnancy. I'm gonna take a guess that that hurts like hell too.
The tangled nuts starts out fairly slowly. But as i said, the pain increases over time. If you were unable to get medical attention i'm gonna take a guess that it's going to get worse and worse. I was in surgery about an hour, maybe two, orso after i noticed them getting tangled. I actually woke up in the middle of the night with the thought 'my nuts are tangled. This is bad.' Which is obviously not a good sign. I'm a bit of a wuss, i dont take pain well but my guess is that any boy (it's a teenage growing up thing mostly) will be unable to do anything but roll around in pain between 20 minutes-2 hours. According to wikipedia, you got 90% chance to keep the nut(s) if it's fixed within 6 hours. I guess the pain depends on how badly entangled they are. If the blood flow is completely cut it will problably hurt more then when the bloodflow is partially blocked.
I have nothing else to compare it to, but i also never broke anything or have any major injury. It's quite possible that giving birth hurts alot more. It's also quite possible that getting stabbed or having a open leg fracture thing hurts more, maybe even more then giving birth. If you really want to you can try to look up the research that's being done on pain levels and tolerances. Few people are going to have enough personal experience to compare them all.
The second was (ironically) also in judo and it was getting my finger snapped back to be a bit more than perpendicular with my palm, if you get my drift. Nothing broke, but writing was impossible for a week or two.
