People use 'like a root canal' as a comparison for great physical pain. I've had root canals and they were very tolerable. Maybe before modern local anesthetics a root canal was very painful and the legend has persisted even though it's no longer true.

Stubbing your toe for the few minutes it lasts is insane, you can't think straight, your heart rate goes through the roof, your eyes tear, you feel like vomiting, anything - I don't believe ANYBODY stubs their toe unexpectedly and doesn't go through the same routine whether they have a high pain threshold or not. If the experience of stubbing your toe lasted for an hour people would need to be knocked out or they would die of heart attacks.
