Do you get drug tested by your pain management doctor? Can you explain why? Have you ever failed? What happened afterwards?
Take care,

@LizziB no I don't get tested in this pain clinic because marijuana is legal even recreationally here in Ohio now and my care team is aware I take 1 marijuana gummy every day. That is all I need and can afford.

If you take pain medication you get drug tested to make sure you are indeed taking them and not selling them. I get tested every so often. Sounds funny to me!!!!

@lolagracedevchris Usually I have to give a urine specimen. I do it here in NM because it is the law when taking controlled substances. I have done blood tests also.

This weekend I was having a chat with my friend's fiancé and it came up that he suffers from chronic pain and sees a pain management doctor. He said he failed the test and is hoping they don't cut his meds. I didn't want to ask more details since I don't know him that well (also weird that he was telling me this...) but now I want to know
Can someone tell me what he means by this? Is this normal? should I be concerned?
thanks
