People experience pain differently. There is no shame in taking pain medication if it's prescribed and you need it.
When I had a TNR in 2013, I found the prescribed meds caused a mind fog, so I graduated to Tylenol within the first few weeks. But Tylenol is still a pain med, even tho it's sold without a prescription.
