Hello
Are these sentences correct in terms of grammar?
His doctor says he has a pre-existing arthritic condition in his neck and this is a long-term problem that should not be disabling however. There is no reason for him not to be driving a cab, for instance.
thank you.

Re: grammar errors?
It should say
"His doctor says he has a pre-existing arthritic condition in his neck. This is a long-term problem, however, it is not disabling. He should be able to drive a cab."
"His doctor says he has a pre-existing arthritic condition in his neck. This is a long-term problem, however, it is not disabling. He should be able to drive a cab."

Re: grammar errors?
I agree with salerno. Or you could say (with minimum alteration to the original sentence):
His doctor says he has a pre-existing arthritic condition in his neck and this is a long-term problem that should not, however, be disabling. There is no reason for him not to drive a cab, for instance.

Re: grammar errors?
I have a simpler version.
His doctor says he has a pre-existing arthritic condition in his neck. This is a long-term problem, but is not disabling. There is no reason for him to stop doing things, like drive a cab.
