I’m not familiar with all the legalities here, but do you know if it is possible to get around these policies by volunteering to join a substance abuse program so that you are making an obvious effort to correct the “problem”? I’m not by any means saying you have a problem, my sister-in-law had similar back problems and leg injuries from being run over by a car and I know the medications, while powerful, don’t do the job. Sadly, finding ways to work within or around a broken system are often necessary these days.

Doctors in the USA constantly UNDER MEDICATE their patients for pain because of the stupid “war on drugs.” I don’t want junkies any more than the next person, but the gov’t needs to get out of the relationship between patients and doctors.
