I don’t know this dude, and if you know he’s just scamming the system I’ll take your word for it, but when I’ve experienced serious physical pain I’ve found video games much more helpful than OTC painkillers.

I'm not his doctor, and I don't know either.

But is that one thing going to stop him from ever working/living a productive life?

Yes, if the jobs he can get pay him less than the medical care and stipend he gets for free every month.

If you lose disability by starting to work, suddenly life becomes a lot more expensive and you can't afford things.

The Welfare Gap is real.
