Has anybody else found work with the added issue of scoliosis? Finding work is hard enough today, then you add in the handicap of a physical disability, and you're doomed. If I hear the words "manual labor" I'm already checked out. It's hard, I'm just trying to earn a living and live my life and nobody will give me the time of day.

Hey Mitchell. So sorry you've had troubles with your health, it all sounds really difficult. We understand why you might feel that way, especially if the work is associated with pain or feeling worse.
You've got to look after yourself, and everyone has their limits. It's okay to feel like this.
Have you got support around you? That makes all the difference. We're here if you need to chat through job ideas, or just the things you need for working life to feel good. ☺️
