I work taking care of dogs, which involves being on my feet for 8 hours a day and walking about 5 miles on concrete the whole time. We're understaffed and last month I had to do a lot of overtime. I've developed plantar fasciitis in both feet and my achillies tendon is swollen, and it finally got bad enough that my doctor gave me a note for two weeks off.
If I return to work and wind up in pain again I'll probably just have to quit… I can ask for accommodations from my doctor but I may be let go because we're not allowed to sit on the job so I won't be allowed to rest. I really like my job, but I'm overworked and underpaid and now in pain constantly. I was going to be suggested for a raise but nothing has come of it so far.
I've never done office work or data entry but that seems like all I'll be able to do if I can't stay at my current job. I keep applying to jobs in the field I went to college for but I've been trying for months and I can't even land an internship. I'm so frustrated. I don't know what to do.
