My name is Sal and I have both spine nerve root damage causing neuropathy as well as sensory in my feet which are partially numb and tingling and legs that give me muscle tremors. I take Lyrica and still exercise every other day and road bike ride and water walk in a pool. I noticed after exercise it gets better than it gets really worse and was wondering why?

Hi Sal, That is a great question. I'm sure there are a lot of different factors involved and I'm sure there are just as many opinions on what the answer to the question is. I only have numbness so I'm not taking medication for my neuropathy but have noticed when I exercise I feel better overall and maybe don't notice the numbness as much because I'm not thinking about it. Here's some research I found on the topic but it's a tough read for me to understand.
