English term or phrase: Pain made the world go white for a heartbeat
Pain made the world go white for a heartbeat. Then I screamed and tried to jerk away, but id did nothing except to unbalance me.

¿Podríais ayudarme con esa frase?

Mi propuesta para el resto es:
Luego, chillé e intenté avanzar a empujones para escaparme, pero no pasó nada aparte de enloquecerme

El dolor me hizo desvanecer por un instante / Por un instante, todo se me nubló con el dolor


Explanation:
Podría utilizarse algo menos literal, que viene a ser lo que quieren decir. En español, no hablamos de ver todo blanco, sino más bien "nublado" o "negro". Por ejemplo: "todo se me nubló" o "lo vi todo negro".
