It's a test to show your abilities to work, what you can do, what you can't. takes about 3 hours. I suggest you try as hard as you can comfortably do, and be very honest about your pain and limitations. They are trained to spot people not giving 100%. It's a good weapon in you arsenal. I am in the same boat as you except I haven't been rejected "yet". My doctors have said if I keep working I could lose the use of my arms or become a paraplegic. Good Luck, working in pain sucks!!!
