Except in rare medical conditions, blood-letting has no therapeutic value. Historically, the practice was based on a completely wrong theory of physiology ("the four humors").
Hurting yourself releases endorphines, which are natural opiates. These give you a sort of "rush" similar to what you get when taking opiate medication.
If you have chronic pain, you need to see a doctor. As you probably know, you should be very wary of opiates such as oxycodone, since they can be habit-forming even at low doses.
