Walking is not bad per se, however it is important to understand the severity of the neuropathy as many patients become fall risks and are much more susceptible to injury. Prior to getting neuropathy symptoms under control it is common for patients to need things like shoe inserts, a brace, or possibly a walking aid; either to help them tolerate walking or as a safety precaution. Getting evaluated by a Physical Therapist is a great place to start when determining what amount of exercise can be tolerated as well as SAFE for you!
