Back to work after long period of unemployment

Jan1176

I am looking to gain employment after long term problems with my back.  I have been out of work for the past 6 years.  My mobility has improved with the help of a spinal cord stimulator and I really want to gain a part time job.  I am worried that my disability and the fact that I am unable to sit for very long periods or stand for long periods, I am not able to life anything heavy.  I worry that no one will give me a chance.  I have a CV ready and have started to look at potential jobs but very apprehensive.  Not sure really what I am asking here but just for any general advice.
