I got medical cocaine once. I had a chemical burn on my eyeball from inadvertently spraying shave gel into it, so that it underwent the get to foam reaction under my eyelid (the bottle slipped and I reflexively grabbed it). It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced, by far and I’ve broken bones without realizing it.
I was in the ER, literally writhing in pain, and they were asking me questions I couldn’t really answer at the moment, so the dr got annoyed (?) and gave me some eye drops. The INSTANT they hit my eye, the pain disappeared and I was suddenly able to breathe normally, sit still, and be a person. It only lasted a little bit (maybe 5-15 minutes, but I can’t really remember), so they reapplied them a few times while I was there. I tried to get them to give me some to take home and they were weirdly cagey about it, and then they explained that it was a cocaine solution. I then asked if it was just 10% in saline solution or what and the doctor made me promise that I knew I could not buy pure enough cocaine to put in my injured eye safely.
Next day he was there for chemical burns on both eyes due to street-grade cocaine generously sprinkled onto both eyeballs, so they got twice the medical cocaine drops.

Comparing something very painful to something you didn’t even notice seems an odd choice
I like your DIY attitude.
I’ve never willingly done cocaine, but it really, really hurt and the eye drops just fixed it.
I ain’t judging. We all do what we need to do to numb the pain.
