Feeling "High": Even if you have pain you still feel high: detachment from reality, no worries, no reality, no correct information from own senses, sensation of feeling good and everything is perfect. It is a big self induced lie by medication, and it means that at the later date and with the repetitive use you need a bigger dose to have the same effect (addiction) and you are hooked. You want to kill to have it.

That Depends: Narcotics create an unpleasant, dysphoric feeling in people without pain. That said, individuals who are addiction prone to certain narcotics will experience sensations that are quite different.
