When the pain is particularly bad, I pace up and down, around the house. I think there is something about weight bearing that quiets the nerve pain.

I walk as often as possible. In the morning, when my feet and legs are painful, I really muster my strength to walk, strangely (but thankfully) in my condition, when I start walking I could not feel the pain until after several minutes, and once I am finished and just standing that is when the pain comes back. I dread the thought of standing. I wonder if anybody has the same experience as mine - walking makes me pain-free but standing makes the pain worst. I really love walking but my breathing and pain after several minutes make me stop.
