Probably good you’re waiting and definitely speak with your neurologist. For me, I have found morning walks to be therapeutic. I walk 1.5-2.5 miles a day. I also do Tai Chi/Qigong exercises a few times a week. I also do hand exercises I learned through occupational therapy. I’ve found these helpful for stretching, while not over taxing my body.

Besides the usual neuropathy symptoms I have tremendous pain in my back, knees, feet, and hands. So I have to remember to listen to my body, especially on laundry and shopping days. I do less walking those days and have learned to pace myself.

Everything I’ve read indicates that movement and exercise is important. Finding the balance and type of exercise best for one’s body is the trick.
