I did an experiment this week. Mon - Thursday, I walked each morning. The duration of my walks was 6 min - 12 min range. The pace was SLOW. I tolerated the walks with discomfort on the scale of about a 4-5 (out of ten - ten being the most pain).
Then Friday came. Friday my feet had an enormous 'hang-over' . . . All day and night long . . . PAIN and feet encased in cement. . . . Next week I will try biking . . . I have my ten speed on a bike stand in my apartment. I don't trust my cognition and balance to be out riding on the streets.

A better test would be can you sit at a desk for 8 hours a day, even with something to prop your feet up with at times.
If you're to the point that you need a walker or a wheelchair, and your doc provides a Rx for either, then that's different.
Do you have a handicapped parking placard, btw?
