SC,
It is really important that you increase the time of exercise gradually. This is true for people without neuropathy. Even more true for people with neuropathy.

My husband, who has the large stand up Elliptical that has the arm and leg movement. Uses three times a week. He has worked up to a good routine. But; as I mentioned previously; when he saw me trying to do too many minutes on the Motion Elliptical he warned me to take it slow...Just a few minutes at a time or I will only cause more pain.

Anything to maintain rather than increase the leg weakness is a positive. Hang in there. It has become quite obvious, you are not one to give in or give up.
