You certainly have a plan. I have PN due to celiac disease but more recently I had a shin shave biopsy and am trying to recover from that. The shin is a sensitive area and it has been 8 weeks and I am still dealing with some pain from that. I am doing PT plus I do a stretch program on TV. I want to get exercise to maintain health but I cannot overdo it. It is good that you are keeping a diary so that you can discern what works for you. I should do the same. Do you also write down what symptoms or effects you are feeling?

@arcuri24 I'm dealing with polyneuropathy and the muscle related side effects of Lipitor and Eliquis. So muscle issues make it easy for me to overdo exercise too.
I keep separate sections in OneNote (since I'm a Windows/Android kinda guy) for each of the conditions I'm tracking. I record whenever I have a flare or other change, how I'm altering anything to address it and followups on how things are working out.
I also keep other notes in that section on any research or other relavent info I find that may be of some use now or down the road.
Dated notations in a condition diary also makes it a lot easier to have productive discussions with your docs.
Wish you well.
