Does anyone know if certain types of exercise makes neuropathy worse? I wonder if walking is better than a Zumba or cardio dance class or water fitness classes? The intensity of the numbness comes and goes but I don’t know if it’s related to the exercise. I am not diabetic and the neurologist says I have idiopathic neuropathy. Now starting to creep up my legs 😕. Thanks !
