Probably best to hit a medical site or book for the best answers, particularly for legal references.

My 21yr old has spondylolisthesis (lower vertebrae slip forward, often putting pressure on nerves or bones), herniated disc, bulging disc, Schmorls nodes, and degenerative disc disease. Apparently doesn’t qualify for disability of any kind even though she’s in chronic pain and cannot stand for long periods. It sucks.
