It depends on the type of nerve damage. Some may be exacerbated or worsened by exercise while others, appropriate exercise will help. Check with your neurologist if and what type of exercise may be beneficial and which you should avoid. Overall exercise is good and beneficial but certain exemptions may apply. 
Exercise is good for health, even for nerve damage.
Exercise helps preserve the muscles that a damaged nerve wound supplies, not the nerve itself.
