Nicotine as pain relief

Anyone use nicotine (either cigarettes or patches/mints) as pain relief for chronic painful conditions?

I had a rare cigarette for a different reason, and within minutes all the pain I have with my pelvis/hip tendonitis/tendinosis crappiness was gone. I've gone straight out and bought some nicorette mints and they have the same effect.

I'm a little light-headed but it's wonderful to be pain free from something that even codeine doesn't work for.

I secretly do. Mum would murder me on the spot.
