I don't know if it really helps although it is a distraction from pain.

I read:
Exercise also reduced the amount of chemicals that promote inflammation. Previous studies have found that these compounds, called cytokines, are related to neuropathic pain.
I do moderate walking everyday and swim in the summer. When I was young I trained people --but now older and too many operations on leg and neck. I do moderate low impact...I feel if you can--- the body is meant to move even if its limited amount like going for a walk. If anything causes pain then stop.
