Is it advisable to do exercise when affected by Erythromelalgia? Which activities would you suggest and how intense should they be?
See if it is advisable for people with Erythromelalgia to practice sports and which ones are the most recommended if you have Erythromelalgia
Exercising is the last thing you want to do when you have Erthromelalgia. Any kind of exertion Can cause flare-ups. Walking very briefly might be okay but that is about it.

Just watch to see if exercise makes it worse. Some people like swimming as it is cooling and there is no pressure on the areas that are affected.

Depending on whether you are having a good day or bad day- do not exercise for long periods of time with no breaks as this triggers serious and painful flare ups. Always bring a cold water bottle to hold in your hands to cool them. Don't tie the trainers of your laces too tight

I think it depends upon the person affected. Some can tolerate certain amounts of activity. Some cannot tolerate any. Exercise is important, and there are many non weight bearing exercises you can do while seated. Others have found they can basically desensitize themselves to a certain amount of walking/running daily and do so.

Absolutely not. I recommend water therapy when it’s colder. But exercise triggers fairs and flairs can cause nerve damage.
