[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 256440, member: 4653"] My knees are killing me! I'm short and the 200+ times I use that high step on my 1985 non-power steering vehicle is taking its toll on my knee joints. Other than the physical pain of the job, I actually enjoy the work some days. My question is, if I get a prescription from my doctor for a pain killer such as percocet, vicodan, or OC to help me manage my pain, can I still drive a package car? Is it safe to drive or operate machinery on these medications? Does anyone here use these or know a co-worker that uses these meds legally and drives for UPS? I ask this because I can't imagine my body taking 20 more years of this abuse without something to manage the pain. And at the same time I don't want to be come dependent on these drugs just so I can do the job every day. To me, it appears to be a vicous cycle. Thanks in advance for your responses. [/QUOTE]
