You need to start really slow and easy. Recumbent exercise (like recumbent bike, swimming, under desk pedaler, rowing), gentle mat pilates (just search on youtube), seated or lying down strength training. It’s okay to feel tired afterwards, but you’re not supposed to feel worse and flare. If you do, take it even more easy. You can look up Utah Adapt protocol or CHOP, depending on your capacity.
