I can't imagine Panadol would take away the pain from a C/s. I think you should tell them how much pain you're in. Because you're having the panadol they probably think it's working.

I didn't have a C/s but I needed stonger pain medcation than panadol afterwards, they always offered me panadiene forte. I never took it because I'm allergic to it so I had Tramal but they'd only give me 1 at a time which did nothing so when I got home I took Nurofen.
