That's a great question. I told you before that I personally lived with the pain for a couple of years at work, but for the final four years I was working remotely so I didn't have to deal with that as I could treat myself at home (or wherever I was staying). While at work my typical BM would come around 10am, so I was already at the office but again I could deal with pain that was a 6 or 7 because it had been at 9 or 10 when I was having a BM. Since you are treating this as a medical issue, you probably need to discuss this with a potential employer but I don't really know the rules with all of that.
My best advice is get a work from home job until you are healed. But I think you already know this.
- You have to deal with pain management until midday after a BM
- You need to go when the urge comes and not be commuting
So don't commute. Go when the urge comes and do all the pain management you need. Definitely work at home. I love working remotely (as I call it) because not only can I work from home, I can work from anywhere. I take really long trips for weeks (or months) and still work. I should mention that I work as an independent contractor so I make my own schedule.
