Is there anything at all I can do?

I injured something in my arm. At first they thought it was my rotator cuff, another doctor now thinks it's my clavicle. At this point, I don't think anyone really knows what in the crap is wrong with it. I don't have insurance which is part of the problem. I can't pay 2 grand out of pocket for a MRI. So until financial is done with my paperwork I just have to deal with the pain. Anyway, I can't exercise. I haven't in a week. My weight loss is still coming along fine, but is there anything at all I can do for exercise? I'm in a sling. I can't move my right arm at all. Obviously I can walk, but that's boring. I could probably do a stationary bike, but that's boring too. What really aggravates me is that the day I injured it, is the same day I finally did a real push up! That's not how I injured it though. I slipped off a step stool. I tried doing some of the ab workouts that I was doing before this, and it just pulls on my arm way too much. My family tells me just to focus on my eating for now and rest. Which is probably what some of you are going to say, but I hate this. I'm not worried about my weight loss, I know I can continue to lose weight without exercising, the scale proves it. I just miss it though. I like working out.

Understanably walking and stationary biking might be a bit boring, but at least you are doing something...would it be worth a little boredom to keep up with some movement? Would it be like profitable healing????? (ie, you aren't moving in a way to prolong the injury, but you are doing something profitable)
good luck with the dianosis and recovery!
