Back in the mid 80-s I had a back operation and the anesthesiologist asked
permission to put some experimental stuff in the wounds before closing to
reduce the pain afterwards. It really worked, but I don't remember what it
was called. He did not call it "hot peppers" :) .

HOT STUFF
Bite into a hot pepper, and you'll feel the burn. But then, your tongue will
go numb. It is that numbing process that scientists are studying in an
effort to reduce post-surgery pain. Scientists have found that the chemical
that makes chile peppers so hot (capsaicin) can actually relieve the pain of
surgery. Capsaicin is being dripped into open wounds during knee
replacements and other highly painful operations.

Bathing surgically exposed nerves in a high enough dose of capsaicin numbs
them for weeks, so patients have less pain and require fewer painkilling
drugs after surgery. Researchers at Harvard University and the National
Institutes of Health, and pain specialists in Denmark, have been researching
capsaicin in combination with other anesthetics for cancer patients, dental
injections, and epidurals used during childbirth.

Anesiva, a California company, has produced purified capsaicin called Adlea,
which is dripped into cut muscle and tissue. The surgeon waits five minutes
and then stitches up the wound. The capsaicin is a one- time dose that works
inside the wound, rather than body-wide, and reduces the need for morphine
and other narcotic painkillers. The numbness lasts for weeks.
