hmm... does canada have disability checks like the us does? if so i'd start there... it'll probably be a long trecherous battle, but if your pain is as bad as you say it is, and your doctors can back you up, eventually you'll get it...
I've thought of that, but again it's the catch-22; if you live with you parents, you can't get disability because they're supporting you. If you want to move out of your parents house, you need disability.... Honestly I don't know how anybody who was disabled as a kid manages to move out.

could always go to college to become a webpage designer or something... one of those comfy-chaired jobs where you sit on your ass all day in front of a computer....
That's an idea, but I know nothing about it. Maybe I'll look into it.

(i dunno about up there, but pharmasists are always on their feet down here... so i'm not so sure that would even help you out...)
I notice the pharmacists here both sit and stand, depending on what work they're doing. I imagine though that my employer could make such a small accomodation, and if I was making a pharmacist's wage I would finally have enough money for therapy to keep the pain under control. As it is I can afford to see the chiropractor, massage therapist, or physiotherapist maybe once every 2 months. My parents thankfully pay for my meds (tramadol, flexeril, and celebrix), though I wish the docs would give me something that actually does more than a half-assed job of killing the pain.

start researching for real work-at home type jobs... there's a whole lot of bullshit out there, but there are some programs that are real, and do work... you just gotta find the right one (if you send money to them first, then no, don't do it... just another scheme)
I had no idea any legitimate ones actually existed. Maybe I'll take a look at that, but I would be terrible at telemarketing and just overall hate it, if that's the kind of thing those are.

could go to one of those carrer schools to become any number of things, one being medical billing...
You mean like a 1-2 semester skills-training program? That's not a bad idea, I just hope there's enough of those types of jobs where you can work in a chair.

One quick question though, do your parents mind you living with them? Like are they going to boot you out soon?
No, they're not going to boot me because they know I'm stuck, and they've seen how painfull it gets for me just when we go shopping and it takes more than 20-30 minutes. But I can't mooch off them forever and I'm not enjoying it right now.
