I don't believe it hurts the nerves and if I can tolerate it I will continue. I think the key is to do what you can tolerate.
Thank you Stacey. Well, the 7 is pretty tolerable when my pain is within the tolerable level :-)

I guess I overdid myself in my exercise. I will go back to my usual walking. What is important is knowing that exercise will not do any more damage to the nerves.

I have asked that question of a lot of doctors and have not been given an answer. They usually respond that some exercise is necessary to keep muscles from becoming to weak. I have to agree with that. I have used my exercise bike. It does not increase my pain but I can't gaurantee it does no harm to t he nerves. I have searched many sites looking for the answer also but have not found anything that states exercisemakes neuropathy worse.

My doctor wants me to exercise for blood flow so the nerves are fed. So they get oxygen, etc. Movement/stretching does that, doesn't have to be hard or stressful.
