After my diagnosis, I was never able to go back to work. Partly because the injury I sustained that caused it was pretty severe but also because my employer would not accomodate me. I was a file clerk with a large printing company. I had to walk ALL DAY fetching files and delivering them. That was my entire job. Since the injury was to my foot, ankle, and calf, that obviously was not possible. I was eligible for company short term disability for 3 months. Now I have had to apply for ssd.
