Information regarding disability

[Guest guest]

I need some help and I knew you guys were the ones to come to.

I need to know if anyone has had any experience or knows someone

who has had an experience like mine. Okay, here goes:

I haven't worked since February. I awoke one morning with an

extreme pain in my low back and down my left leg. Testing has

shown that I have bone spurs along my lumbar spine, 3 herniated

discs, and degenerative osteoarthritis. Right now I'm unable to

stay in any one position for any length of time. There's no way

I can sit at a console for 8 hrs. This is in addition to other

medical problems but this is the one that is keeping me from

leading a normal life. Have any other dispatchers had this

problem? How have you coped? If I'm unable to continue to

dispatch what kind of career would my skills make me eligible

for? I can't take pain medication or muscle relaxers and stay

alert for dispatch. What do you suggest?

Thanks for any and all replies,
