hi
i wonderwhy you have been put on norco forso long when alternative medicines are there.chronic back pain could be treated for the cause surgically, anyway it may take 4-5days to be negative in urine and serum.,depends on your body liver and kidney functions,hydration status,if thee normal then maybe 3-4 days to wash off from tests.Please consult an orthopedic doctor for alternative drugs as sudden stopping will bring unpleasant symptoms and substitute medicine for pain like tramadol may be given. norco is tapered gradually over a wek or 15 days period
best wishes
