I generally tell my patients pain isn't a good sign. Push though pain is bad advise generally. If exercise worsens it, definitely not. Sometimes it can ease it if it's mild depending on the cause.
My neurologist said exercise is good for the condition because it flushes you out. If I were to do running I would be in pain so I don't do it with or without pain relief. I can get my heartbeat up by doing cycling or rowing so I do that instead.
