Hey, Everybody,
Have visited the site many times and found it very useful have joined now and seek input and suggestions to a problem I've run into.
I have degenerative discs in my back as well as spinal stenosis. I have entered into a pain contract with a doctor at my local hospital. Due in part to recreational use and also a motor scooter accident, I have used up all my norcos early. I am due for my next appointment on Wednesday morning. I reported to the nurse that I'd had an accident and had been taking the pills "as needed" and was close to running out. The doc called in a script for tramadol.
Based on my talks with the nurse, I am concerned about showing up for the appt w/o any norcos left and likely w/o any opiates in my system. There is a likelihood under this scenario that I'll be fired from the pain clinic.
I have a chance to score some tar tomorrow and thus have opiates in my system for the appt.
Does anyone know if the typical pain clinic UA/drug screen makes a distinction as to what kind of opiates are in my system? Is there a chance I will get flagged by the UA for having tar in my system?
Please advise. I need to continue my meds in order to function at my job.
