Hello @whirleybirdie, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

I have small fiber peripheral neuropathy in my legs and feet. Although I am unable to walk for long distances anymore I try to walk some every day and use an elliptical or recumbent bike for 30 minutes a day. I think you need to exercise as much as you can without over doing it -- especially if you are having pain in the feet or legs when you walk. Do you enjoy walking or is it hard for you? Are you able to share a little more about your neuropathy?

Good morning John, I have a Fitbit and my goal is 2500 steps a day and I have been exceeding that as I am spending the winter with my daughter and she walks with me.
I am taking Gabapenton for my neuropathy and it seems to be helping.
My toes tingle at night but my the front of my legs are hot and ache at night. I honestly don’t even know I have neuropathy during the day.
