As far as I know there is no headache, and although the theory is non intuitive, it just works as expected. The physics behind it can get complicated at the fundamental level, but computing a time dilation for an orbit is hardly rocket science. You don't even have to compute it, you can actually measure it right?
Do you know about any specific painful effect that was revealed only after general relativity was tried to be applied to GPS satellites in particular?
