Had Cervical Fusions, On Pain Management. Can I Fly?

I am slated to fly 1 1/2 years after 2 cervical fusions. I can not sit on an airline seat for extended periods and when I reach my destination I would have to perform physical labor for which I cannot perform. I am currently on pain management as well. How do or what do I need to do to let my employer know that tis would not be a good idea?
