What happens if I get discharged for arthritis during basic training?

I have minor arthritis but it is totally in remission due to some medications I am taking. I told this to my recruiter and he said don't ask don't tell. It won't show up on the tests and all my military friends I ask say the same thing. But what happens if it flares up really bad or something only a few months in? Will I be totally kicked out and without a job?
I havn't lied yet or done anything

Tell your recruiter to PUT IT ON THE FORM!
All he cares about is getting you into Basic, that’s it. Your a Check mark on his quota sheet. I had a previous Conviction as a juvie, my recruiter said "Don’t worry about it, they’ll never find it.." I made him put it down anyway, when they ran my security check the investagators told me point blank they’d found it and if I’d had lied about it I would have been kicked out. Trust me on this you don’t wanna have to go through Basic and possibly Tech School and then all of a sudden your career in the service is OVER.
Since you lied you better hope all they do is kick you out and not charge you with fraud enlistment. You can’t take any meds to basic and no matter where you tried to hide them they will be found on the shake down.
FRAUDULENT ENLISTMENT discharge.. loss of all benefits, possible fines.
don’t do it.. trust me you WILL NOT MAKE IT THROUGH basic training.
IT WILL SHOW UP on the blood tests. Sed rate alone will nail you.
