Getting tattoo removal with the Cutera Enlighten. Can taking a pain pill (Norco) make it more bearable?

ducotekk
Last week I had my first laser session with the Cutera Enlighten. Prior to this I have had my tattoo treated with the Astanza Duality 4 times and handled it ok. The Enlighten was by far one of the most painful things I've endured. My tattoo is large and therefore the treatment time is extensive. This time with the Enlighten I was only able to stand half the tattoo being treated. The doctor has offered to give me a Norco before my next session and I'm wondering if you think this will help.
