Is there a certain amount of time you have to wait to drive after having been prescribed, or taken painkillers (with codeine)? If I remember correctly, you just have to get a note from your doctor explaining that you are not taking the pain meds anymore and that you are okay to drive. I will find out for sure when I call my company tomorrow. Of course, they may have their own policy also.
Painkillers, waiting period?

3-4 days and they are out of your system. If you are on them you can not drive. I am not sure of how your company will handle this thoug.
I would think if the doctor releases you from work and meds that you are fine

Ouch here that is pretty painfull sometimes. My friends boyfriend has that and he still works and all that ,but he has days where he can't do anything but lay around. It could be the meds he is on, but then again it could be the disease. Good luck to you and I hope you get everything situated as I am sure you will. Keep in touch with us and post on how you are doing

Thanks, I got out of the hospital yesterday and feeling better. On loads of medication and I have a tube coming out of my stomach as the abscess continues to drain. They won't tell me yet when I can go back to work. I have another CT scan next Monday, and of course they need to get this tube out of my stomach.
I guess I just need to be patient and let the healing continue.
For those who might be worried about this being trucking related, it's not. They don't know what causes it and there's no cure. They think it's possibly hereditary. I'll post in the future on this in the Health Forum so I don't get this forum off-topic.
