Does it cause any harm to do things that make symptoms temporarily worse?

My right leg goes very heavy and mildly numb after I exercise, specifically after using the rowing machine (I imagine other cardio would do it but I only row for cardio) and sometimes if I walk for a long time. I can tolerate the temporary heavy leg but I don't want to be doing any actual damage.....
