Do Any of you Find Regular Foot/Toe Exercises Help Pain?

I do no specific exercises, but am active in walking (golf), xc skiing, bicycling and a little running. I find only time I work with my feet is when I get a pins/needles attack and have to massage it away. This is most effective means for me to decrease the discomfort. I am not sure what exercise would do for the feet and nerves specifically. I find if I exercise my legs and do not stretch adequately that it appears to bring on more of symptoms. One of the first questions I asked of the specialists when I was being diagnosed was how can I create the most beneficial state for the nerves? They didn't have a clue but just said everything I thought based on diet or exercise didn't really matter. I believe they didn't really know, so could not offer any help.

I also massage feet and toes, but nothing helps in the long term. I have severe toe and ball of foot pain that utterly is debilitating. The docs, like yours, kind of shrug their shoulders at exercise. I think I will just do toe and feet exercises daily and see what happens. I was taught in physical therapy, but never did it daily.
