I tend to experience the opposite. More exercise seems to make mine better. Not cured of course, but like yesterday I did a bunch of yard work with a lot of walking and most behind a push mower and from my knees down feel much better today than the day before. Like it helps the circulation or something.

@cmodling On the rare occasion that I am able to get in my yard and do physical labor such as trimming shrubs, raking leaves, etc. it seems that my neuropathy symptoms are better the following day. Perhaps the physical exercise and the bending helps to loosen the compression on the nerves coming out of my spinal column? I have no idea for sure, but it DOES happen.
I try to walk everyday, and that is helping overall.... but the yard work seems to be most helpful. I jokingly told my physical therapist that I need to find a job with a landscaping crew and spend my days mowing, trimming, raking, digging.... and perhaps I would reverse the neuropathy! 🙂
Keep moving!! Best wishes! Mike
