I have been doing 3 to 5 miles on my treadmill since having my pn but as it gets progressively worse, I find myself avoiding more and more. So, in light of that, I have noticed a few things:

Cons:
It HURTS.
I mean, I know I am going to be in a burn flare after I take those shoes off. It does not hurt while I am doing it but I know I am gonna pay.

Gain weight when I don't do any.

Not healthy to avoid it.

Pros:

Healthy

Mentally it gives me that seratonin boost afterwards that I love, even though I HATE doing it and will never be a person who loves to do it.

Helps to lose or maintain weight.

Literally changes my entire day when I do it.

And last....and what I just found out, since I avoided it for 2 weeks completely....I believe it helps my PN. I am guessing it brings great amount of blood flow to my toes and thus on the days I exercise, my pn is better and my nightly horror is less severe.

That last one is newly discovered...and enough to drive my butt out of the chair and put on those horrid tennis shoes.


Just thought I would share.
