Hello, I am new to this group but have had small fiber Neuropathy for about 20 years! I take Lyrica and Cymbalta and they mostly keep the pain in control. I am otherwise healthy and want to exercise more. I have noticed that workouts on a Pelaton bike result in terrible muscle cramping at night. What is going on? Can this type of exercise advance a neuropathy? The last thing I want to do is make it worse. Any riders out there have the same experience and how do you treat this? Thanks.

Welcome @rcgoodm, I thought I would chime in while you wait for other members with neuropathy and experience riding a Pelton bike. I've had small fiber peripheral neuropathy going on 30+ years but only have numbness and no pain. I don't have a Pelaton but have a Teeter FreeStep Recumbent Cross Trainer and have used it pretty regular for the past 4 years. It hasn't made my neuropathy any worse. In fact, I think it actually helps with the circulation in the legs so that is a plus if you have pain or just numbness with your neuropathy. There are quite a few types of exercise that helps those of us with neuropathy - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/lifestyle/exercise-and-physical-therapy/.
