Hi, so lately I've been trying to loose a little weight but I'm struggling to exercise for more than ten or fifteen minutes due to really bad neuropathy in my feet and legs. I'm on 900mg of Gabapentin a few times a day. I can slowly walk for about thirty minutes straight but anything that could actually get my blood pumping just ends up hurting. If any one has any exercises or advice that would be great? I've seen my doctor but all they could do was up my dose
