I'm not at all clear what a "narcotic recipient" is--do you mean that you are prescribed norcos? If you are given a legitimate prescription for a drug you will not be "charged" with anything. If however, you try to continue to get prescriptions after you no longer need them for post surgical pain , I'm sure it will raise red flags. This does not belong in wiki, and is bordering on a legal question, which we do not allow. This thread is closed. Good luck with your surgery, though--I hope it helps whatever is going on that is causing you pain.
