Can You Go Guard or Reserve (Any Branch), if Medically Discharged from Active?

I currently am going through the MEB Process in the Army, I am in the Infantry and have broken both of my wrists. My case manager says a re-class is not a option, however I feel with the high physical demand of being in a Airborne Infantry unit, my wrists just cannot handle it anymore. My question is: is there a possiblity of going into the Reserves or Guard, in any branch; in the hopes of reclassing in a not so physically taxing job?

    If you get discharged from active duty due to a medical problem, then you are done for!!!

    Probably not, because if they won't let you re-class with your injury for active duty- why would they put you in a position where you have the chance of being activated again?

    OR- you could call a Guard or Reserve recruiter and ask.
