My father is looking for anew better job or degree career. #WheelchairUsers #Wheelchairs #BackPain #SlippedDisk

In 2002 my father fell off a ladder from a 2 story building while working(carpentry) and broke a majority of his lower disks in his back. Today he was told that he will eventually be in a wheelchair and needs to find a job that’s less stressful on his body in order to slow it down. I’m not completely sure what my question is but I’m just wanting some answers to something related to this and felt this would be a good resource.

The doctors believe I have a slipped disk, maybe 2, waiting for MRI results to come in. It’s been about 2 weeks since the pain has gotten worse. Idk what I did, as I’m not active so idk how I even slipped a disk. But this pain is unbearable. Hurts to sit and takes my breathe away. At night, I can’t get comfortable and just pray I fall asleep. Not falling asleep until 4am isn’t ideal, but if I can get some sleep I’ll take it. I’m not hungry at all, I have no appetite. I’ve been throwing up for the last week, and it hurts more and more. My right leg goes numb and my foot feels like an ice block. Both legs do, but more so my right leg. I’m getting this horrid groin pain that comes and goes. It hurts to walk upstairs, hurts to sit, hurts to breathe, hurts to move... I’ve been taking more of my pain pills to try and ease the pain, and I get some relief from them, but I know that’s the only thing that’s helping right now. Healthy people want nothing bad to show up on results, where I am praying there is something there. I can’t keep living like this. I can’t bend, I use to be able to touch my toes, and that feels like a distant memory. No one should live like this. Praying for results.
