If I'm put on a permanent profile at 30 years old due to osteoarthritis, should I expect to be medically discharged?

Osteoarthritis/ and consistent swelling inside my bone (bone marrow edema). My permanent profile consist of no running, rucking, heavy lifting, alternative apft events for ruining such as walk. At 30 years old should I expect to be medically discharged?

Pretty much, yeah. The general rule of thumb is that if your profile prevents you from deploying, you can expect a medical discharge. If you cannot wear body army or a helmet, you will be considered non-deployable.

Ok, thanks for responding. So I recently was just put on a permanent profile for six months. No running, rucking, no wearing gear longer then 30min, nothing really that evolves lower extremities. Am I able to just request for medboard, considering my orthopedic started that my condition will not get better considering my age and new profession.

You don't get to choose if you med board, also permanent is not six months. You're either on a permanent profile, or a temporary profile for six months.

At the minimum it should result in a MEB, which can result in a medical end to your service.

Not necessarily. A MOS Medical Review Board (MMRB) is an option where the subject is evaluated on whether he or she can perform his/her MOS, and if not, if the Soldier can be reclassed to another MOS s/he can perform, rather than medically chaptering the Soldier and the Army losing its investment in the Soldier.
The MEB is triggered by a Soldier receiving a "3" designator in any PULHES category.

I was 30 when I got a permanent 3 profile and I stayed in for another six years.
It took some doing, but my CO liked my work and constant correspondence courses.
Mine said no running over 1/2 mile, no pt requiring jumping, no standing over 30 minutes.
