Medical waiver

I recently started my process to join the reserve. I'm 36 years old, during my in person interview I discussed a worker's comp case I have for a slip and fall I had 2 years ago that is still open, I injured different parts mostly hip labrum tear and heaniated disc. I am finishing with PT, it has been long because insurance takes months to approve/deny and then resend, etc. My recruiter was great, but despite my background and test scores he recommended I wait 2 years after case is close and being free of symtoms to apply or I'll get disqualified.

My question is if I can really get a waiver in those conditions despite the records? even if I have to wait the 24 month period. I'm not ready to give up on the AF yet.
