Pain meds don't affect healing at all unless they contain aspirin, and that affects blood clotting time in the initial stages.
I do agree with you about the dulling the senses -- the effective ones make you feel drugged -- "Am I awake or asleep? Let's see, are my eyes open? If they are, I must be awake..."
I never did see the fun in abusing those things -- the therapeutic doses are nasty enough!
