I've looked around the forum periodically throughout the year. A little background on me, I've been in 9 years. At the beginning of this year, I was in an auto accident involving a semi truck and I had minor back issues discovered a couple months prior that I was just getting past. Needless to say, after the accident I have been in constant pain everyday. I have herniated discs and bulging discs pinching nerves and I have been on narcotics this entire year. I've been through 10 weeks phys therapy 6 that was inpatient style at my wing, I've seen 2 orthopedics, pain doctor and now I'm waiting on a neurosurgeon. I'm stationed at army installation so it is a nightmare having to relay army to civilian back to army and to Air Force with my medical stuff. I am currently on morphine sulfate extended release, hydrocodone 7.5, and muscle relaxers for he back spasms. Due to the pain and medications I rarely go into work and when I do it isn't long. I go in when I'm fighting the pain and to not take the meds. I've had outstanding top cover for most of the year. Air Force won't initiate my meb until I get the neurosurgeon note and now my supervisor has deployed which has left me in limbo because no one has hardly paid me any attention anymore until now. Someone is trying to probably say I'm faking it and what not which is a different issue in itself but this leads me to my question. Isn't there something in an afi somewhere that states I have to be allowed off when taking these narcotic and mind altering medications? I've notified my Air Force doctors and they know I don't go to work and he said he was surprised I even showed up at all. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
