Is this a permanent back problem, or are you able to get some kind of treatment?

So you are looking for a job that does not involve any heavy lifting or physical work, but also not a straight desk job, you need something that involves moving around a bit I guess...Something like a quality control inspector maybe, or maybe you could teach? You don't say where you are, but maybe there are government jobs that would be good, they also tend to have good health benefits plus no-discrimination policies!
