Look into vocational rehab in your state. You have to apply but when you get accepted they help you get training for jobs that you can do with you new restrictions, they also help you find a job. In Ohio you get a counselor who works with you through the whole thing until you have held the job for 9 months. I have a c3-c5 fusion from a broken neck and am in vocational rehab currently.

I have plates and screws down my spine and its never set off the detector. If its MRI safe titanium it wont set them off.

Not sure if they all do but I believe so.
