Work Injury Steals Career I am looking for others who have disabilities, people that have found ways to make it through and are living life despite of their issues.
I am dealing with a herniated disc at L4-L5 which causes pressure on my nerves making walking or standing for more than a few minutes unbearable.
I have hearing loss, but balanced out by hearing aid.
I have bouts of extreme depression, and panic/anxiety disorder, brought on by my back injury and current inability to work.
I also suffer from chronic low back, hip, and leg pain as a result of my injury.
