always give a feeling of eternity. Still gives a feeling of hope it may not be permanent. Still can be translated by "encore"

if you had to translate by "toujours" it would be "pour toujours"= for ever. je suis dans un fauteuil roulant pour toujours= I will always be in a wheelchair or I am in a wheelchair for ever Je suis toujours dans un fauteuil roulant (and may be tomorrow not) = I am still in a wheel chair . Je l'aime toujours = I still love her. je l'ai toujours aimé =I have always loved him

So, if "toujours" has to mean "still", how would you say "I am always in a wheelchair"? I can easily see this as an expression of exasperation or despair.
