I lost my job due to my SC disability over a year ago. The Dr. had me do a functional capacity test and the results said that I shouldn't lift no more then 10lbs. The Dr. gave me a permanent restriction for lifting of 10lbs. The Dr. also wants to do reconstructive surgery on my back who will include rods, screws and pins. This will be my second back surgery in 3 years. I am being treated for depression through the VA due to my SC disability. My voce rehab counselor told me that I probably won't be able to use my degree because of those limitations. So I've researched different job descriptions, and I don't even qualify to be a secretary because of the limitations. My questions are: what should I do? what's my chances.of getting total disability?,
