Stomach pain, should I stop taking pain pills

I take like a pain pill a day I'm 2 weeks in post operation it helps easy the pain, but I don't like taking them this is the first time I have ever taken any prescription pain meds and first surgery. Any advice

Everyone is different but if it was a laproscopic gallbladder surgery I'd be surprised if you still had pain that needed prescription grade pain meds 2 weeks after surgery. You could try not taking them and replacing with regular paracetamol if needed. And if pain is an issue check with your doctor.

Best Wishes

If they help you should take them till you are another week or so along or till you don't need them.
