I have established a couple of local medical relationships, not based, however, on neuropathy. After something like 15 visits to various tentacles of the medical system where I first took my numb limb problem (and tests galore, including bone marrow extraction), the final word I got (besides "Idiopathic") was "Whatever you have, it is not my specialty." Advice? Zero. The PCP I had in Pennsylvania was equally flummoxed and blank on advice.

Dear Fumi, wow, I 'm so sorry for all you' ve been through!! I hope and pray that you find just the right doctor for yourself that can really help you. I will be praying for you for that. Warmest wishes, Sunnyflower

@fumi any physician will be qualified to let you know whether exercise is approved for you. I was told by my neuro surgeon that I could exercise and no longer needed approval for medications or supplements after my AVM which lead to neuropathy. I know physicians don’t have all the answers for our medical ailments. I too got “I don’t know” but I use my physicians to answer questions so I can form my own decisions to base my trial and error experiences. That is how I know exercise is a benefit for me. As long as you are fit to exercise you may try a low impact activity that is not demanding before attempting any strenuous exercise. Check with your physician first to see if your health can tolerate exercise.
