I recommend using any machines your gym has and working your way up to free weights the more comfortable you get with it. Any low impact workouts are amazing with keeping the pain at ease, imo. I have arthritis in my lower back, and I understand completely 🫂

Swimming is super low impact, or walking. Also building/ maintaining muscle is important for chronic pain, so light weights maybe

make sure to stretch before and after a workout, recovery will play a huge role in feeling better. also, take as many breaks as you need so you can lift your best during every set
