Not sure what the cause is for your neuropathy. My cause is idiopathic so who knows. It has progressed slowly over 8+ years. I'm lucky I don't have pain and although my feet are annoyingly uncomfortable with tightness of skin and feeling like tight compression sock half way to my knees I am able to exercise at high level daily although I'm 71. I do step aerobics or jog daily. The more I exercise the better I feel. Not sure what your symptoms are but keep moving and don't despair.

I was diagnosed with Idiopathic peripheral neuropathy and restless leg syndrome just recently. The burning and pain in my feet at night was horrendous. Taking gabapentin before bed has settled that down. My feet also feel like I am wearing tight compression socks. I am 78 and have been an avid weight lifter my whole life and I continue except with lighter weights and more reps. I'm not a jogger but I am a walker. I agree that the more exercise the better I feel! Keep moving is definitely important. My movement begins in 15 minutes with 1/2 hour of fast dancing and movement in my exercise room with my top tunes of the day!!
