26 F I have lumbar spinal stenosis and the pain is pretty constant. I have quite a bit of weakness in my legs as well as balance issues. I also have instances where it is hard to even to lift up my foot to walk. I have been physically and mentally exhausted from all this so I have been spending my days off just sleeping. My family are not willing to help me move around or to little things that are hard for me. At my house we have a fire pit that burn boxes but it’s at the bottom of our back yard down like 20 steps it’s hard for me to climb up or down 2 steps when I am not carrying anything. I asked my dad to help take some boxes downstairs since I can’t walk that far or do stairs. Needless to say he refused since he thinks it is a pretty simple task and I am being lazy. So my question is how is everyone handling the disability that comes with the condition? I also have to cook for myself and on my bad days that come way too often make getting up to cook feel impossible so any tips to how you navigate the kitchen would help.
