Default Benefits

of exercise on PN in general and PN pain are being recognized more widely in the medical community. Hopefully, they'll catch up with much of the forum wisdom at some point. In any case I saw this recent article from Shields' group in the rehabilitation department at the Univ of Iowa and thought it might be of some interest. The article is very general so it's not as "in depth" as the earlier ones from Smith's group at Utah about diet and exercise and prediabetic PN but Shields does note that for some patients the improvement in their pain was comparable to that seens in some drug trials that have been noted as beneficial - most encouraging.
