Nitro opens the vessels.

no. Unless it's heart pain --a condition called angina pectoris which is caused by blocked arteries in the heart. Slowing the heart in that situation causes the heart to need less oxygen and have less frequent and severe angina. Beta blocker drugs do this. But slowing your heart won't help your back pain, kidney stone pain, etc.
