In the USA we often use it was worse than root canal. which is a dental procedure. I have also heard it's more painful than giving birth, but I think that's an older term, less used and certainly gender specific.

Jamás ni leído ni escuchado. En cambio'malparido' una infinidad de veces, en todos los idiomas. Su traducción al Inglés, literal, es badbirth.
Mas nadie la usa en ese sentido.
