What kind of pain reliever? If it is OTC things, like Tylenol or Advil, it should be no problem. If you are on a prescription narcotic, and had to take it for pain, you probably shouldn't donate. Most medications are fine for donation, though.

Ask at the blood donation center. The Red Cross will give you a long list of questions like this (and others, too) before they'll take your blood. They may defer you for a lot of reasons like this.
