Here's an article in a recent Spine journal I came across. Basically, prescription of opioids for acute LBP in workers increases the chance they'll have long-term disability.

Coincidence? Confounding? Should more conservative methods be used first (manipulation, non-opioids like NSAIDs, interferential current)??
