    It would be best to discuss this with your doctor. They will know best based on your medical issues. Don't trust random strangers on the internet.

    Swimming? I'm not sure about the back and the arm movements, but it's low impact and great exercise. Perhaps check with the doc and verify that it's safe for your back, but at a guess it would be a good choice. Alternately maybe water jogging. Also low impact, but less arm movement to potentially bother your back.
