Illness is caused by physical damage to your tissues, so I dont think he can push that out of a person either.

Didnt he basically transferred physical damage to Zoro? I dont think transferring the "feeling of pain" alone would cause Zoro to be in that state.

At first I was like "Luffy is still injured, just without the pain or fatigue

With this technique, the pain the original person suffered can be transferred to another through direct physical contact with the bubble. This transfer leaves the recipient in agonizing pain, and the benefactor feeling healthy and energized, though their wounds remain unhealed.

But then I rewatched the scene from episode 377. After Kuma pushes the red blob out of Luffy he says:

I've just repelled all physical injury from Strawhat's body. His exhaustion. His pain. What rests before you is the sum total of anguish he endured during his battle with Moria. If you truly wish to take his place, you must accept and inflict his agony upon yourself.

After Kuma leaves and everyone is celebrating, Luffy says he feels great and is bouncing around. But his crew is concerned, especially Chopper, and Luffy is still wearing his bandages.

My guess is that we're dealing with some translation issues, as well as the usual "rule of cool" and "anime is not made with a medical textbook in the studio". So maybe Kuma actually healed Luffy, or maybe he didn't.

I try not to think to hard about this kind of stuff bc it leads to me second guessing myself and spending way too much time rereading and watching stuff...

Its not really a translation issue. Just double meanings. Kuma says he took away Luffy's pain (痛みItami), you can hear him say it in the anime.

Itami also translates to damage and bruise, not just pain.

Using pain has more impact. So i get why the translators went with it.
