When my PN symptoms started, I did not realize that my pain then was just a "preview" of what to come. Anyway, there are other health issues that developed after the PN diagnosis that requires more frequent doctor's visits, more toxic medications, that I sort of grudgingly accepted the PN pain while shifting my focus to the other health condition. All this time, I continue to exercise not only for my nerves but more so for my lungs.

My question to those who regularly exercise inspite of the pain, if you can tolerate the "intolerable pain" and you continue to exercise (because for me, not exercising is not an option for my lungs), will I further damage my nerves?
My exercises are:

1. treadmill (incline of 7 and speed of 3) - when the pain is tolerable;
2. walking outdoor - when pain is moderate

Now that my feet and legs are REALLY hurting, I still want to do teh walking even slowly. I probably can still do it but I am concerned that my pain must be telling me to rest for a while or forcing to walk while the pain level is high might damage some nerves. Will recumbent bicycle be safe?

Swimming or water exercises (in a pool) is not for me. The splashes could create an "aerosolized water" that can potentially carry a bacteria which I can inhale. (My apologies for some who might think I am insensitive to those who love pools. I could not just take the risk of being exposed to bacteria or virus especially that my WBC and Neutrophils are too low.)

Will appreciate insights.
