So, I have been living in my van for a while, was living and working in Portland and developed a back injure from being on my feet and repeatative motion(I can no longer deny that I am over 30). I made a stupid decision to house up at a friends house across the country to try to recover. So I drove first to colorado, where I spent a few days and then to Pennsylvania, where my friend lives. That situation went south quickly, but my back is still in pretty serious pain and I can't do most types of work I've relied on in the past and I am having a hard time getting into anything different. I don't really know what else to do at this point and could really use some advice. I can't stand for more than about 10 minutes at a time, certainly can't do any heavy lifting, bending, etc. I am pretty good with computers, but I am not finding any work with them and I've been spending hours applying to things. Has anybody else here been through this sort of thing? What do you do when you can't rely on the strength of your body? I need help.
