Default crps,scs still new too me,how about work,how u guys deal with it

since my surgery on jan 13,to place scs implant i had not been able to go back to work, so many reasons, discomfort,lack of physical therapy which i received but for my foot not my surgery site which was my back and buttock, as i mentioned before my back is now my big issue but return to work is something that still pending,happens that my company rules are according with my manager "come back completely fine with no restrictions other wise take ur time" i live in california and according with labor laws if restrictions are order by your dr and the company agrees if fine but for my now is a not yet, my jobs require stand and walk for 8 hours at course some breaks but my dr orders now are avoid bending,pulling,carry,stand or walk , sit down only and there is no job for me that allows me that, so i'm on extended leave and still waiting for re evaluation and future therapy also everyday afraid that one day there will be no more hours available for me,crps changed all my expectations and every day i feel worry about all, i guess is normal after you get used too but honestly,i don't see how to get use to this conditions, i was so active and independent and now pain gets me,sorry i guess this is my only way now to understand and fight this battle,i learned a lot from all of you and i know we are so many more living in the shadows by not knowing whats wrong thats make angry and sad,hope one day a cure can be found because we all deserve to have our lives back,take care
