Something at my gym that might be perfect for you if it's available is a handbike. Just pedal with your hands while seated. Very taxing on the arms and a great work out. Is swimming an option? That's always one of the easiest option on joints.

I'm sorry to hear about your injuries, those are not just little nagging things that go away. But thank you for serving.
The nerve injury is in the lower body, but the implant in my back makes a ton of upper body things either VERY unconfortable or VERY painful. I should be able to work with a bike with some mild pain, and swimming is hit or miss if it is painful or not. Basically Ill just have to suck up and deal with the pain for the most part .
