Just don't push yourself to hard. I refused to wait for a wheel chair when seeing my second daughter via c section when she was stuck in the nursery, so I walked every time. Around 6 to 7 at night the pain would really set in because of over doing it.

Getting up and walking is the best thing u can do for yourself. I got up in less than 24 hours even though it hurt so bad but it was better for my recovery

I felt like the pain meds did NOTHING for me I stopped taking them when I got home 2 days later

It doesn't hurt that bad for me to pop pills I want to be up and alert with my baby. I'm not big on taking meds anyway that's just me, I'm still walking around and sitting up and holding my baby so they're not necessary atm. This is my 3rd c section and it's just what works for me. @traciurbina

You know your body, do what you feel is best for you 😀

Take the pain meds if it hurts. Lol what makes you heal slower is not getting up and moving. If it doesn't hurt, you're good. I couldn't stand up without having a panic attack from the pain, so clearly you're doing a lot better than I was. You know your body. Don't let them tell you you have to take it.
