To be honest, I think alcohol is the strongest painkiller that's readily available. When I was in pain for weeks, none of the pain killers did anything but when I drank one large beer, the pain was pretty much gone for the next couple of hours.

I don't know, maybe it depends on the person, how your body reacts to different substances.
