I had several feet of gangrenous small intestine removed when I was 13.
A benign tumour had blocked the intestine causing waves of pain and vomiting which lasted for several months without successful diagnosis. Until finally taken to casualty the GP had diagnosed (guessed) at colic, glandular fever, or just a pretend illness!
For the 1 or 2 weeks before having emergency surgery the pain ebbed then went away (although the vomiting continued). This is probably about the time gangrene set it. It was in fact a welcome relief and removed the need to take painkillers. Although the pain had gone overall wellbeing deteriorated (but the GP said it must be getting better because the pain had gone!).
So in summary I'd say gangrene feels better than having the pain, but it results in worsening overall condition.
