Everyone is confusing anesthesia with analgesia, which doesn’t really matter for this question. but Tylenol is not an anesthetic (which is a drug that prevents sensation), it is a Analgesic (drug that prevents pain). One incredibly common work out treatment is ben-gay which use methyl salicylate, which is actually metabolized in the body in salicylic acid. This is a very common Analgesic, found in willow bark tea, and the famous drug, Aspirin.
Also You can get anesthesia for work out pain. It’s pretty common for lidocaine patches to be used after a hard work out. Lido is a Sodium Channel Blocker that inhibits the Sodium signals in nueron transmission, so it is an anesthetic. So that’s OP’s question and the answer is, we do.
