1) Try to find a different way to cope with or stop the "pain"(i.e. surgery, other medication).
All options have been exhausted. I'm already on the "other medications" alonside the ones I wish I didn't have to be on.

2) Find a job that doesn't require manual labor. That way the pain will not affect you
As long as I'm on my feet, it'll affect me and badly. If I go more than 3 hours not getting to lie down, same deal.


Oh man, are you talking about you? 22 and living with your parents? Its not the end of the world. Try 30 and stuck living with your parents. You'll find a way out.
I know there are worse situations, but the end point is that I have to find a way out. I can't live like this forever; alone, broke, without a life.


As for government assistance, I don't qualify because technically I'm being "taken care of" by my parents; living in their house, eating their food and whatnot. I'd only qualify if I first lived on my own, then hurt myself; but I got this injury at the age of 16. On the other hand, there must be tons of people who were disabled as children, and surely they moved out at some point? Just wish I knew how because it doesn't seem the system is set up for me. Doctors have nothing to offer in the way of advice either, I've asked plenty.

Ah well, thanks for playing. This riddle's too complex for more than just me it seems.
