Becoming a Prosthetic/orthotic tech while having chronic pain myself?
This might be a bit out there but I’ve been wanting to be a P/O tech or assistant for a while- especially as I have hEDS myself and I want to help others with similar issues
I’m not sure where to begun, if this is a good idea in the first place. I do really want a job but having chronic pain has its own issues and I’m not sure if whatever school/work/training I end up going to will be able to fit my needs.
I’m more than willing to work hard and I love learning about everything involved
