Hi,
Can try, in some patients has shown effective as long as no harm has been done.
As you have noticed, once you walk, the pain and stiffness is done; so it is better not to stop exercising (walking, or other light exercise) to relieve pain and stiffness.
NSAD taken orally or locally can also help. Talk to neurologist if any intervention can be done.
